General :: Assign Oneself To A Group To Get Access To A File
Sep 4, 2009
I'm on a regular Fedora 9 desktop computer with an ext3fs filesystem.
I'm trying to give myself access to /dev/ttyS0. This is because I'm developing code that uses a serial port. While I'm developing this code I don't want to be continually working as super user. I have the following information about /dev/ttyS0:
Code:
So as root I added myself (username freddy) to the group uucp. This is just temporary, for while I work on this code and try different stuff as user freddy. Once the code is established and I have a single program with a fixed name, I plan to give myself an entry in /etc/sudoers that will allow me to run the finished program.
Here's the info on user freddy:
Code:
The problem then is that now if I try to use /dev/ttyS0 I can't.
Code:
I thought that if I was a member of group uucp which is associated with /dev/ttyS0 that I would be given rw access to /dev/ttyS0. What am I missing here?
I have a text file that currently has around 150 000 usernames in it. I need to somehow group them into smaller groups of 1000 and then add that value into the DB. for example user xzy group 1 (hopefully the groups will be digits incrementing)
[Code]....
how to search for 1000 then assign them group 1 and then 1001-1999 to group 2 etc.
I Want to be able to let my girlfriend view my pictures folder while at the same time keeping my sister out. So I created a group "JessAndI" and made myself and her apart of that group. I changed the group of the directory recursively to "JessAndI" and gave the permissions to 770. She still isn't able to access or even view the directory unless i change the permissions to allow others whether it be 774 or 777. Am i doing something wrong? I've checked and double checked to make sure she is part of the group and the group is the group on the directory and all the sub-directories and files.
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?
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?
We are aware that unix has three sets of permission such as owner, group and others. I have a requirement to have a read-only access to a folder and sub-folders and the group that currently holds can't be used. Because it has write privileges. I would rather not prefer to use others, because it opens to each user in the system.have read-only access for another group?
# Create a directory, and user, assign ownership of dir to that user and usergroup. sudo mkdir /mysecureddir sudo useradd mysecureduser sudo chown mysecureduser:mysecureduser /mysecureddir
[code].....
I've read some similar issues dealing with apache, but its still not clicking for me. Group has rwx access to directory and everything in it. I'm in the group.
I have a directory that needs to be owned by nginx user and I need to access it via other users in order to add/edit/delete files in it. So I created a group called www and added both then chgrp -R on the directory. However I am still getting a "unavailable to access no permissions" sort of error in my SSH/SCP/what ever you want to call Mac's Transmit. ls -a output drwxr----- 3 nginx www 4096 Jul 17 23:56 nginx
I have created vsftp server with grop of users and they can access only to /home/ftp-folder file which i made for them..nw if i apply read rite privilages to this folder then these previlages get by users in the group obvious...bt wot i want z if i creat a folder in /home directory i.e /home/test and i want the particular user in the group can have 777 access and other users in the grop coud nt access that folder..
on my Fedora test server, there is a webdev group for all developers and the files under /var/www are owned by apache:webdev. Each developer is set up per normal, with each getting his/her own entry in /etc/group, then I add them to the webdev group (all from the command line). Things seemed OK, but when I edited a file as me the other day and updated it via scp, the ownership and group changed to that of my user, preventing a second dev from updating it later. How can I make sure that the file remains editable by all in the webdev group regardless of who updates it? Since it's a test server, the permissions are fairly loose at 775.
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 studying Linux and just started reading about permissions and ownership. My question is how would you have multiple users or groups given access to a certain directory? When doing an ls -l I see the owner, group and others that have permissions that have access to the file or directory. But what if I need multiple different groups access to a particular file or directory all with different permissions?
I want to be able to assign the group "readers" read access to guests/c1 but it says access denied. but it shows r-x acsess. i want to be able to control who has read access and not just give it to everybody.
i want to set permission type "write" on a file to a particular user in a group of users ( not all users in that group). chown is changing a user to root , but i want to set say permission of "write" only to a user 1 in group staff which contains 10 users 1 , user 2 ...user 10.
In researching current ldap issue (not being able to do anything but log in) it seems that there are no concepts of privileges, roles, etc. that could be assigned to a user in LDAP.
I've only seen fields that deal with name, organization, etc., not with application-specific access control.
I have to assign certain access privileges to users authenticated via LDAP server based on the privilege level mentoned in the LDAP server. How to attain this.
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?
We are using Nagios Server for different sites say India,US,Germany. All of them are in their respective groups. Now how do i create web access to 3 of them, so that they can monitor only their server? Say, India shouls be able to see and monitor only India group, US guys should able to monitor only US servers. And they not be anle to access other group.
I know there are permissions one can assign to certain files and folders, but this won't come in handy if you need quick access to a file -and as User I often do- and don't want to slow down getting root permissions. You know, just open-close-move on. Is there a way, as user, to assign a password to a file or a folder? It would make the job a lot easier and more efficient.
cat /etc/group | grep www-data | grep chad chad:x:1000:www-data
the user www-data should have read access to my folder but i am still getting a 403 forbidden error i have done this before without issue anyone see what is wrong? i have a folder i use for file transfers over IM it is more reliable than the messengers file transfer abilities
I'm running a server using CentOS 5 x64 I want to disable access of groups to "bin" folder so they cannot execute commands. [info: actually because of a bug in cPanel (the control panel I installed) Perl will give access to all hosting users to execute commands.] so what i wanna do is to ban some groups on 'bin' folder, for example 'my_group1' and 'my_group2" cannot access bin but 'my_trusted_group' can access it.
On RedHat 5 64-bit.I have a group that requires read-only access to the /var directory.I believe someone mentioned SGID and ACL stuff, and I've been researching this solution, but I wanted to check with you all first to ensure there wasn't an easier way to do this. Basically, I just need folks that belong in this certain group to read the contains of any file/directory contained within /var.
I've several servers (windows+linux) that authenticate to an LDAP server. There is one machine that I would like to allow only certain groups from LDAP server to have access and I am not sure where to start.
If that cannot be done, is it possible to disable LDAP root user to access these machines?
I would like to be able to instruct Gnome to use a certain icon for a file type however I cannot find anything within Gnome to be able to get it done automatically. How does Gnome assign an icon to a file type? I really want to have Gnome display one of the fancy icons from OpenOffice.org for their Writer/Calc/Publish documents rather than the default icons that Ubuntu (Gnome) assigns to it.
I'm running a server using ubuntu 10.04 x64. I want to disable access of groups to "bin" folder so they cannot execute commands.

can assign permissions on a partition with ntfs as the file system. I am aware of editing fstab and setting some basic permissions. What I am clumsily dictating is can you edit permissions of individual folders for specific users in Linux. I have already tried chmod and such
At my wit's end I can't find anything that I understand well enough to use. This is for a Unix class, we are working with shell scripting. File1 has 5 in it and File2 has 100 in it.The teacher wants us to read the values then do the math. This is what I have so far:#!/bin/bashvar1='cat File1'var2='cat File2'var3=`echo "scale=4; $var1 / $var2" | bc`echo The final result is: $var3
I am setting up a samba server to operate in a windows AD domain. I want to set permissions for multiple groups to have different levels of access to one group of files, and it looks to me like unix permissions will not do that? I always hear about how robust linux is, and it seems to me that their file permissions model is WEAK compared to microsoft's?
