View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having an odd problem (although I'm probably missing something obvious to a non-semi-newbie):I have a directory used for samba shares which is owned by user fred, a system user which the windows clients on my network authenticate with to access the shares. I, roger, want to access the directories without having to put my 'sudo boots' on every time, so I made the directory group users and added roger to that group, and changed the file/folder modes from 0755 to 0775.However I still do not have write permissions inside the directory; I still seem to be considered 'other' and hence only have read and execute.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do something like thisi created a group called www and made this group the owner of the directory/var/www/htmlso i can read and write to it.of course I've add my self to this group, but it seems i can't read and write.the syntax i used was something like chown :www /var/www/html.didn't workonly when i used chown samurai:www /var/www/html i could finally could create new file.the reason i don't want to specify the user name is because I'm thinking of a scenario when i need to give permission to a large group of ppl and don't want to do it user by user.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get the -perm option of find to give me all PHP files that are group writable. Should this work?
find -name "*.php" -perm g-w
What I want to be able to do, is have create a group, for example called "group1" and set its default permissions to read & write, instead of the usual just read.
So when I add a user into "group1" they automatically have read & write access to all files & directories which is in "group1".
Oh & I use crunchbang 10 (statler) for my desktops & Ubuntu 11.04 for my NFS/print/SSH/etc/etc server
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (guest) on Windows 7 (host) with the guest additions installed. I have an auto-mount folder that maps to my D: drive on the host which I can access using sudo ls /media/sf_D_DRIVE - however, even when my user (ross) is a member of the vboxsf group I get a permission denied error when attempting to explore it. I have restarted since adding my user to the vboxsf group.
This should work because I am a member of the group (which has rwx rights), so why doesn't it?
ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media
total 8
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 8192 2011-07-03 22:24 sf_D_DRIVE
ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media/sf_D_DRIVE/
ls: cannot open directory /media/sf_D_DRIVE/: Permission denied

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried to 'makepkg -s' easy-e17 in a few different places, but to no avail. I get the error:
Code:
ERROR: You do not have write permission to store packages in /bin/easy-e17.
Aborting...
Though, I also get this error for any other directory I try in. When trying with 'sudo' I am told that it is a "bad idea." I have never used makepkg before, so whatever is wrong might be obvious; I have never "fine-tined" my makepkg.conf before, either. Probably not relevant, but just in case: easy-e17 is a group of files from the Arch User Repository for installing Enlightenment (DR17). Perhaps there is something I need to install in order to make packages from the AUR? Or does that sound ridiculous? I wouldn't know.
I need to test linux group permissions on a repository. In one shell, how can I temporarily remove one of my group associations? e.g.If my groups are defined as:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just noticed on my Ubuntu machine (ext3 filesystem) that removing write permissions from a file does not keep root from writing to it. Is this a general rule of UNIX file permissions? Or specific to Ubuntu? Or a misconfiguration on my machine? Writing to the file fails (as expected) if I do this from my normal user account.Is this normal behavior?Is there a way to prevent root from accidentally writing to a file (Preferably using normal filesystem mechanisms, not AppArmor, etc.)
I understand that root has total control over the system and can, eg, change the permissions on any file.My question is whether currently set permissions are enforced on code running as root. The idea is the root user preventing her/himself from accidentally writing to a file. also understand that one should not be logged in as root for normal operations.
I would like to know how can I share a folder in samba with no need of user and password with write permission, with no need of using guest user.

(** mounted as root) The mounting works fine.
The problem arises when I try to create a sub-directory inside the mounted directory. All the newly created sub directories become write protected.
I am accessing this file system from R software and it needs to write/create directories in side this mounted directory.
how can newly created sub-directories will become automatically writable, so that R can create new sub-directories and write data inside those directories.

I am using CentOS release 5.4 ( 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5xen ) and created an HPC cluster by using NIS ( for user authentication ) NFS ( as file system ) and mpich1 as parallel compilers and utilities and TORQUE as job scheduler.

I've got a problem with groups on linux (slackware). I'm trying to ssh from one computer into another to do some work, but I'm running into permission issues.
If I do the work locally as a user
If I do the work with ssh as root
If I do the work with ssh as a user ;(
Both computers are mine. (By locally, I mean physically sitting by that computer logging in the normal way.) When I log in locally as a regular user I'm a member of the following groups: 'users floppy audio video cdrom' But when I ssh into the same computer, being the same user, I'm only a member of the group: 'users'
Q1. What gives? Where/How can I change this?
Q2. Also, where do linux/slackware store the group information? According to /etc/group I'm only member of 'users'. Where does it keep the info that I belong to 'users floppy audio video cdrom'?
Code:
[serv@local subsys]$ rm -rf nagios

I'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.

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 a problem access privileges on several folders like this one
Code:
It clearly says that I have owner and group read write and search (it's a directory) privileges.
I login as user master part of group events
Code:
But I can't access the folder (Permission denied).
Well, this is a problem that keeps on coming, and I never found a solution: Maybe it is just me misunderstanding how it should work, but:
1) do you confirm that, as a member of the group "fuse", I should be able to read the file?
2) of course, I could change the permission of the file, or read it as sudo, but sometimes this is not possible. how to achieve it then?
Here are some example files that are shared through samba:
-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file1.txt
-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file2.txt
When user2 (who is also a member of group1) edits file2.txt the permissions change:
-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file1.txt
-rwxrw---- user2 group1 file2.txt
user1 then has issues opening the file. This also goes for new files that are created (they are missing the group execute permission).
I have set the option "create mask = 0770" in my smb.conf. Without this set, permissions default to something like -rwxr--r--
