I have a set of files that have a group ID number where no group exists in the system with that number.
I want to recursively read the group IDs of all (including hidden) files in the current and sub-dirs, test each file's group ID, and if it equals the search GID number, I want to execute a chgrp command on that file.
Anyone have an admin script already made for this task?
i want secondary users can able to change the files permissions of primary group?user MAC is having www as a primary and httpd as secondary group. But he want to change the file permissions (chmod) httpd group files. Is it possible or not? I think its not possible. If it`s possible then let me know how?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm unifying the encoding of a large bunch of text files, gathered over time on different computers. I'm mainly going from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. This nicely converts one file:recode ISO-8859-1..UTF-8 file.txtI of course want to do automated batch processing for all the files, and simply running the above for each file has the problem that files whose already encoded in UTF-8, will have their encoding broken. (For instance, the character originally in ISO-8859-1 will appear like this, viewed as UTF-8, if the above recode is done twice:My question is, what kind of script would run recode only if needed, i.e.
only for files that weren't already in the target encoding (UTF-8 in my case)?From looking at recode man page, I couldn't figure out how to do something like this. So I guess this boils down to how to easily check the encoding of a file, or at least if it's UTF-8 or not.This answer implies you could recognise valid UTF-8 files with recode, but how?
I am using Centos 5.4 and I changed the group on /dev/lp0 to group from root. After I do this my program printing directly to /dev/lp0 works fine. But when I shutdown and reboot the system the group on /dev/lp0 has changed back to lp. Does anyone know how to keep the group changed to group after a reboot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have files that are sourced when users are working on a project. The files set environment variables and cd to the correct working directory and automate a few other things for the end users.
One thing I have not been able to figure out is how to change the user to a different group. Files created in a project context should have the project GID instead of the users default GID. I tried the newgroup command but it starts a new shell and breaks the other automation.
Any ideas on how this can be setup?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a shared, family computer which has USB drives attached to it. Multiple users can be logged in, that sort of thing. All of the users have been added to "Access external storage devices automatically", however I've noticed that when one user plugs in a USB device, the other users can't see it without unmounting/remounting. When a drive is mounted, it seems to mounted at:
drwx------ 5 jdoe jdoe 4096 2011-08-10 12:03 DriveName/
What I want to do is change the default mount group settings, to:
drwxrwx--- 5 jdoe family 4096 2011-08-10 12:03 DriveName/
I know I can do this through fstab, but as far as I know that forces you to name the drive/mount point and that's not what I'm looking for, what if a user adds a NEW usb device and wants it shared with the other users?
I have a group (GROUP) with a number of users. I recently added a new user (NEW). NEW is able to read but not write group files, whereas all the other users in the group can read and write to the group files. The permissions for the group files indicate that all members of group should have write permission -rwxrwxr-x
/etc/group indicates that NEW is a member of GROUP
...
GROUP:x:501:GROUP,OLD,OLD2,OLD3,OLD4,....,NEW
[code]....
Don't know if it matters, but both OLD and NEW write to the GROUP files over an internet connection. why NEW can't write to GROUP files? Is there a maximum number of members in a group that I might have exceeded?
I need to create a group that has the same permissions as the users group. Can I have the new group be a member of the "users" group to inherit its permissions?

I'm having all the same problems, but I'm using DSL-N, and I can't figure out how to check or change the group permissions.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed slax6 onto an ext3 partition and setup a users account, i've also just managed to mount some virtualbox shared folders which are working and i can access them fine. The problem is I cannot seem to give limited user accounts access to them. root can access them no problem! but right clicking and changing the permissions do nothing, because once I click apply, reopen the menu, the changes have reverted. I've tried chmod'ing them.. chmod o=rwx /mnt/folder I used 'o' because I can't seem to change the group permission for the folder. The shared folder I am mounting is formatted in NTFS and the other in ext3, I can't change the permissions of either.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm learning about how to write Makefiles, and am a bit lost at how to run a command in a target depending on the value of a variable.
What I'm trying to do, is run "strip" only if the user is running a given version of a C compiler.
Here's the code:
Code:
$(LUA_T): $(LUA_O) $(LUA_A)
$(CC) -o $@ $(MYLDFLAGS) $(LUA_O) $(LUA_A) $(LIBS)
#FDPIC ELF binaries can be stripped, but not FLAT binaries
$(if($(CROSS),bfin-linux-uclibc-),

I would like to make group changes on serial ports permanent. I can become root and use chgrp:
chgrp uucp /dev/ttyaa00
but it only lasts until reboot. I think I need to add this line to a startup file but not sure where. I want this to work in run level 3 and 5 (at least). I have a digi portserver and their realport software. The ports are /dev/ttyaa00 through /dev/ttyaa07 and are in group root on startup. I want them in uucp so any user in uucp can use them. This is for F10.
How do i chance the owner and group from multiple files at ones.
How to change the rights for all at ones i know!
I've decided to move this question into a new thread since i haven't received an answer for 3 days. This question was originaly posted here: [URL]... I've already searched in google, however i wasn't able to find an answer that solves my problem... How can i change the umask on a per user basis so that each user can have its own umask to fit his needs? For example: I have four accounts on my system ex.
admin1 : admin,
admin2 : admin,
manager : stuff,
user : user,
-So now I want everything from the admin group to be by default set to 002 (so that every user that is in the admins group can have a full share (-rwx rwx r--) of everything that is created by the admins).
-Then the similar to the above managers shoud have 022 umask.
-And each of the regular users should have 002 or 022 or 077 it is up to the users choice.
I hope that i have provided enough info thorough the example.

In my /var/www directory, I have everything set up with:
user: www-data
group: developers
directories: chmod 570
files: chmod 460
Everything seems fine. Users from the developers group can edit files and all, but now we began using the Git repository, and whenever a user edits a file (ie. Joe who is a developer,) file permissions get screwed again. Now they're:
user: Joe
group: Joe
directories: chmod 755
files: chmod 644
How can I fix this so permissions remain the same?

I've been tasked with fixing a Red Hat system that dies with a kernel panic during the boot stage:

EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a set of two amd64 machines with Debian Lenny. Machine 2 reads all the users' information from the Machine 1 through LDAP. Also, in Machine 2 I set up a dchroot environment for 32 bits compatibility ( following [URL]
In addition to the above instructions, on this Machine 2, I set up /etc/libnss*, /etc/ldap/*, and /etc/nsswitch.conf both for the amd64 and for the i386 environments. I have no problems if I'm in the native amd64 mode. However, once I enter the i386 dchroot, some strange things happen:

A bit of an oddity that I've recently run into with my storage folder in my system; it's a newly installed drive that I've set to mount at /storage. When I first tried to use it, programs that I used that attempted to write to it tossed Access Denied errors at me in their own way. Checking the permissions (at the Terminal, ls -l / | grep storage) showed that /storage was set to 'rwxrwxr--'--Owner and Group were given full read/write/execute, but Others could only read. However, my logon to my system is a member of group root. Why, then, with the above bits set, would I not be able to write to it? Changing Others permissions to rwx (and presumably rw would have worked out for me since I don't leave anything executable there) allowed me to write to it, but I don't understand why that would have been necessary. So far as I'm aware, the prior drive that was in my system--mounted at the same location--did not need this treatment.
