'the command I would use to change the group permission to write and the user and other to read and execute for the file "generate-report"' Sounds simple enough but I cant get it to work at all, tried doing a search in google and on the forums here to no avail. Is it possible to do in one command or will I need two?
Ive tried:
chmod g+w, uo+rx generate-report
And numerous other variants all with no luck.

Im running samba on fedora core 7, im abit new to the server part of fedora, i set up samba and it runs well, only issue i have now is resolving permissions( User Rights)i have a shared folder which has alot of files and many subfolders in it, the files and folders in this shared foldr were copied from our old Novell Server through samba, i need to assign permissions to this folder where by a defined usergroup can have full read and write permissions to all the files and folders and sub-folders in the shared folder. i tried doing it in GUI but i realized there were over 1000 subfolders.is there a command i can run in the Terminal to help me assign the permissions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedInspite of having 755 permissions on the chown command, it seems the command can be executed by the root only. I was under the impression that the 'x' permission for 'others' can give executable rights to the normal user too, which does not seem to be the case here. Just curious to know, if not the file perms itself, what controls the execution of the command?

View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem: permissions for rsync and BackinTime. Setup: Ubuntu 11.04, Two internal HD, #1=main, single boot, #2=backup drive. Question: How do I set up my 2nd HD with correct permissions? Background: I had previously a dual boot XP+10.04 with a 2nd HD formatted as NTFS. With this I was able to use my rsync and backintime to my 2nd HD with no issue. My new set up is EXT4 on both HD.
(I even tried to reformat my 2nd HD as NTFS, but that didnt fix the issue) I followed [URL] to mount the 2nd HD and get permissions. But now when I run backintime i get this error: [E] Error: rsync: opendir "/home/myhome/.ssh" failed: Permission denied (13) I did my requisite reading for a newbie, and am stuck. I ran backintime as root, and it backed up ok. How do I run my user version of backintime? (i.e. How do I fix the permission issue?)
Is it possible to reset apache 2 permissions to default permissions I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 command line server, would webmin give me this access ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using my Linux (SLES 10) server as a File Server at this point. I need to set File Permissions to nested folders differently to different groups. For example:
homesharedengineering* should be read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringadmin should be read & write for groupB Plus read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringautocad should be read & write for groupC Plus read only for groupA
I've been using Webmin and Putty to set permissions but Putty only allows me the Default Group, it won't allow me to set several groups on the same directory. Webmin seems to allow me to add multiple groups (Webmin --> Others --> File Manager --> Info & ACL tab will provide extended abilities) but when I add multiple groups, they don't seem to take effect? I'm wondering if my setup at the 'Share' level or at the hierarchy of my folder structure (unix based) needs to be set specifically?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT.However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again).
I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm?
When you run the following cp command in the BASH terminal, how does Linux know which files are the source and which are the destination when copying multiple files from one location to another?How does Linux know that the services, motd, fstab, and hosts files are the source and the /home/fred/my_dir is the destination?This question came up in a Linux class and I was not sure of the answer. I was thinking it is based on the source path entered ending with a file path and the destination being a directory, but was not sure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy DocumentRoot is set to /var/workspace/www
drwxrwx--- 110 radek www-data 4096 Jul 11 11:34 www
Firstly i had 777 permissions on that folder (and all files inside), but i don't like it, because everyone can see it and change it.
As Apache runs under user www-data:www-data, i tried to set the group and permissions:
sudo chgrp www-data www -R
sudo chmod 770 www -R
After i done that, http://localhost started to show 403 - Forbidden. It just looks like apache is taken as "other" (from owner, group, other) in words of permissions.
What should i change (permissions, owners, whatever) to keep all files visible and changable only for me (user radek) and executable by apache?
As i can see, there's one Apache process running under root and many others under www-data.
radek@me:/$ ps -Af | grep apache
root 13165 1 0 11:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

I am struggling to get dd to restore a disk image across a network. I imaged a hard drive using dd to an external drive but no longer have that drive. The image file itself is on another machine and the only drives I have are the single internal drives of each machine so I am trying to run the command over the network
[Code]....
The permissions on /dev/sda appear to be correct - root has rw access. I assume the problem is that the credentials for the remote account "user" are being used for "dd". Is this a syntax problem or do I have to change the permissions on sda to give write access to everyone? I don't know if changing the permissions affects only the running Linux or if anything is written to disk so I'd prefer not to make changes until I'm sure I'll be able to restore the image.
I have just installed Ubuntu on a machine at work and wondered how i can add a new user with the same permissions as the "main user"? I added a user via the "users&groups" gui but sorting permissions looks tricky.
