I can't remove a file where I am owner of :
Code:
[jonas@webserver html]$ ls -l | grep file
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jonas jonas 3323 2010-03-15 20:33 file.php
[jonas@webserver html]$ rm file.php
rm: cannot remove 'file.php': Permission denied
The directory that holds this file is html :
Code:
[jonas@webserver mysite]$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-15 18:32 cgi-bin

How can I make a virtual host (right now I just use NameVirtualHost *:80) that will load the same page for every domain that matches imap.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, or pop3.domain.com?

I can import projects to my cvs repository only when the repository set to group owner cvs. Which is fine to me.
But I found the project folder/files that I imported into the repository have group name other than cvs (in fact, that's my username). And that prevents others to check out my code.
I'm interested in viewing the owners of files on a Windows Server 2003 share (mounted on a Linux computer). These "owners" would be users in Active Directory. If it's not possible to see the username, I wonder if it will at least show a unique identifier. Currently it says all files are owned by root with an "ls -l".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI like the "Ubuntu" sudo philosophy and wanted to setup this sudo the same way on my Debian system. I was happy when I found that I just have to do the following:
-create a group 'admin'
-adduser christian admin
-visudo
-add the line: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Then I tried sudo rm -rf / to check if sudo works. All worked fine. No, seriously, I can move around files that belong to the root and such, so sudo somehow works. But when creating new files with sudo, like e.g.
tar xzf myZippedTarball
these files belong to user 41034 and to the group users instead of root root:
drwxr-xr-x 7 41034 users 4096 2009-11-01 01:07 libsvm-2.9
Certainly, this is not the way I want to have. The user 41034 doesn't even show up in /etc/passwd...
I'm trying to download a file and extract it in one line, but the extracted file is owned by me instead of root even though I'm using sudo:
Code:
sudo sh -c 'wget [URL]'
If I don't try to extract the file, it is owned by root as I expected:
Code:
sudo sh -c 'wget [URL]'
I used to use the root account for everything for more than a year then I moved to a user account for security reasons but almost all files had root as owner so I could not go 5 minutes without having to change to root and then change the owner of a file to my username to make it usable. I got fed up with this so I just changed the owner of every file on the system to my username instead of root.
command chown -R myusername * in the base directory /
Everything was fine until I restarted and the login screen became non functional and I got 2 error messages related to xsession and gnome errors. I think this is because the login screen might have its own user account and it cant access the files for the login process because it is owned by myusername. So my question is what is the user-name of the login account and what folders/files need to have their owner changed so the login process can work? I'm on 10.04 lucid.
I am trying to change the owner permission of file as "read only" when the file is rcp remote copy ) from server to another for security reason. Any way to change to permission as readonly access for owner and group ( 550 )when transfer the file using the rcp command ? I tested but still retain the original permission as source file.
Version : RHEL 5.2
Command : #rcp(local file)(/destinationserver/

When I ls -l /etc/passwd, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root /etc/passwd When I login as myself, and rm /etc/passwd, it asks: rm: remove write-protected file '/etc/passwd'? If I say yes, will it actually delete the passwd file?

View 2 Replies View RelatedA colleague of mine has a Linux box (running Debian I believe) with an SVN repository on it. The repository directory and files 'owner' is my colleauge. We are both members of a group called 'users'. He manages several projects both Linux and Windows apps, while I have one Windows app. For the Windows apps, we both use TortoiseSVN via an SSH link to commit/update. Performing the command 'ls -l' shows the repository files and folders on the Linux box to have the following permissions:
-rwxrwx--- john users
However, when my colleauge commits to the repository, the permissions change to:
-rwxrwx--- john john
This then means I get 'Permission denied' when trying to access the repository myself as it appears that the group permissions have been overwritten with only 'owner' permissions. To fix this, a 'chown -R' command is applied to the files/folders to set the permissions back to owner/group, but each time he writes to the repository, the issue repeats.
I am creating a tar gzipp'ed archive on my local machine (as user1) using the following commands:

user2@servermachine:~/$ tar xzpf
dir.tar.gz
I find that the extracted files are owned by another user (say user3) What is the logic that is used to determine file ownership if the owner of the extracted file is not a user on the target machine? I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4 on both machines

I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I'm having some problem of ownership while sharing folder/files. to share i change the folder share option:1. Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted. Now how i can possibly share my folder on local network so that they can be edited by others without getting locked down , if they copy files i can able to modify them.

I have got certain files which somehow contain abnormal character "Del" "0x7f" or 177 which represents Del. And this is causing SVN to reject these files and abruptly end the process.
