I'm trying to learn about permissions on linux webserver with apache.Some clues to the system: The server I have to play around with is Fedora based. Apache runs as apache:apache. To allow for e.g. php to write to a file the file needs to be chmod 777. 755 is not sufficiant.What I'm wondering is basically how set up permissions like they should be on e.g. a "shared web host".My main problem is that if I set a permission so that one user cannot access anothers home folder, then apache can't read from the public_html folder either.
To keep the users out I need to set chmod 700. But to let apache to read I need to have at least execute on world,so a 701 basically works, but won't let some users in.So I'm really stuck on what to do. Have been concidering adding the apache user to the frous grours
below to avoid having to add the world execute flag, but is that a bad thing? Should it be the other way around, the users in the groups below should also be in the apache group?I was aiming at having 4 groups:
1. webapp: same as dev_int, but is the only one that can go inside the webapp/live folder to e.g. do an update from the repo.
2. dev_int: can read,write and execute everything in the "web root", including the two below, but nothing outside of the web root
3. dev_ext: can read write and execute in all client folders, but cannot access anything outside of the webapp root
4. clientsBasic ftp accounts. Has a home folder with a public_html, but cannot access any other home folders
How do I change folder permissions without changing the permissions of the files within the folder?

Code:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 diblemar users 2.1K Jun 3 06:02 /cluster/shared/Injects/1404_1405_1000033606_79964.return.xml
I want to modify the file using a cgi script running on an apache server (on the same machine). Both diblemar and apache are in the same group.
Code:
apache:x:48:diblemar
However, I receive a file permissions error when I try to modify the file. I assumed that with the permission settings above apache would be able to modify a file owned by someone else in the apache group.
i wonder, why nobody has written about it ...
How can i grant permission for files to specific user or specific group ??
Updated:
We have 3 groups: "g12" ("u1" and "u2), "g34" and "g56".
"g12" should only read the file.
"g34" should write and read it.
"g56" should have all permissions (rwx).
And others should not access the file at all.
I'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?
I have a FTP server (vsftpd), and would like to setup different file permissions for different groups:
-"ftpusers" group should only be able to browse and download.
-"ftpadmins" group should be able to browse, download, AND WRITE (RNFR, RNTO, MKDIR....).
Let's say my main directory is /var/ftp/docs/. It should be accessible by "ftpusers" group, but only writeable by "ftpadmins" group. Other groups or users may not access it. Which permissions and ownership should I give? My problem is that the dir can't be owned by two groups...
I'm setting up a Fedora 11 server for the company of one of my friends. So far so good. But now he has asked me to setup access restrictions to folders through samba. Now I'm quite familiar with user access policies, even though I'm quite new to the GNU/Linux world. What I want to know is : what is the best way to give and remove, on the go, rwx access for a specific user to a certain folder in a linux system? Can I create groups for each folders, whose members will have the given permissions? Or do I have to create users for each folder and add to their group the user witch i want to give privilege to?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are a school and we share a samba folder with students and teacher groups. What we are trying to do is:
- Give students group users the permissions to rwx own files in folder
- Students must not be able to do anything with others files. I mean nothing so, at most, they could see the files in folder but not read it.
- Teachers can do anything with files in folder
As you can imagine, the idea is that students deliver their exams in that folder without the ability to read/copy the other students files. With sticky bit we can restrict students permissions to their own files, that is ok, but how to restrict all the permissions on other students files without restricting student access to that folder?
I am used to setting up users and groups on my daughters computers with Ubuntu installed.
user: magz (daughter)
user: nigel (me)
group: nima
We each have our own folder for files i.e. magz and nige. This has always worked well and it didn't matter which user is logged in we could create and access files in the other users folder with full permissions.
root@nbsq: /media/2xfi/files# ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 9 nigel nima 4096 Jul 13 09:45 magz
drwxrwxr-x 3 nigel nima 4096 Jul 13 09:45 nige
I have finally got around to getting her to try Debian which I always use, however I have never had to set up users, groups etc in Debian (squeeze) so I just did what I'm used to with Ubuntu. What I've found is that if I create a folder while I am logged in then that folder cannot be accessed by my daughter when she is logged in and the same applies if she creates a folder then I cannot access it when I am logged in, unless of course I use terminal to change the owners. In each case with the new folder the owner will be: root and the group will be: root. I would have thought what works for Ubuntu would work for Debian, however there must be differences.
this directory has permissions 750 and is owned by user1 and group user1 I have an admin user that is primarily a part of group admin, but also a part of group user1 what would stop admin from having read and execute permissions on this directory? I'm running clamav and have a clamd daemon running as user admin (I could run it as any user, and I may make a special user later, but I don't want to run it as user1, user2, etc).
I have 2 (technically lots more, but let's just say 2 for now) users, user1 and user2 that have home directories /home/user1 and /home/user2. each is owned and group owned by user1:user1 and user2:user2 respectively with permissions of 750. my admin user is part of groups admin, user1, and user2 I need this to be able to scan my user's directories using the command (is this correct?):
clamdscan --move=/files/quarantine/ --config-file=/etc/clamd.d/adm.conf /home/user1/file
doing this gives the error:
/home/user1/file: lstat() failed. ERROR
If I change the directory permissions to 755, it works fine.Or if I leave the permissions 750 and change the directory group ownership to admin, it works fine. So, why would this be? Obviously it is a permissions issue, but why is it not reading admin as part of the user1 group and allowing the same permissions as it does when making the directory group-owned by admin?

- Printer successfully configured using CUPS
- Scanner only works when I am Root.
- When trying to access scanner as user it says there is no scanner attached.
What should be the groups for this user in order to access the scanner? Actually, they are: haldaemon, disk, audio, video, cdrom, plugdev, power, scanner, lp. Below are the outputs for sane-find-scanner (as both root and user), although, since the scanner works well under root, I am almost sure it is a problem with setting permissions and groups.

So i am at the stage of about to install the basic system and am using a derivation of the package management provided by Matthias S. Benkmann. To this end I am using his useradd and groupadd scripts to update the files:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
My issue is that when I run the commands(created as part of temporary system when installing coreutils):
Code:
/tools/bin/su linux
#then as user
/tools/bin/groups
(here linux is the name of the user) This only returns the user being in the group named after user but not the additional group of 'install' Also, prior to logging in as user, if I use this command as root:
Code:
/tools/bin/groups linux
linux install This then returns that the user is in the correct groups. Lines from relevant files look like:
Code:
#/etc/passwd
linux:x:10000:10000::/usr/src/build:/bin/bash
#/etc/group

I have a file server running 10.04. I have a user that belongs to 2 groups (users is the primary and IT is the secondary). I have permissions set up so that this user and other users that belong to the IT groups can read/write files and others have no permissions whatsoever. I have also set the umask to 0007 so that any files created have the effective permissions. My concern is this: since my primary group is users, is it possible for me to create files with the owner group IT for only this specific folder?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving set up many windows servers with complex permissions on shared folders, I now have to do the same in Linux (and I'm such a noob to Linux) I understand that each file/folder is assigned a user + group, and that the rights can be set for the user, the group and global (aka everybody else) My challenge is this, inside my shared folder there is a folder that should be RW to some users, READ ONLY to others, and not accessible at all to the rest of the users. (lets call the folder MyFolder ) All 3 groups have more than 1 user, so they have to be groups (right?) How would this model work in Linux ? If there is no other way, I guess I can nest the MyFolder in a folder that has permissions to allow all users that may access MyFolder, and block the rest, then on MyFolder, set owner group the RW users, and set global to READ ONLY.
Ps : The server I'm setting up runs Debian Lenny, files will be accessed from windows workstations using samba.

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?

Recently updated the kernel in Ubuntu 9.10 and for some reason now, a folder which was not read-only now is. I can't delete anything from it. Have tried using the GUI for changing permissions, however, it has a mind of it's own and won't unlock the folder.
Anyone had this happen where a folder locked when you didn't want it to be?

I own an Acer Aspire One which has Linpus Lite installed. Last night I attempted to delete a couple of files only to find they are read only and that I cannot change the permissions by right clicking and changing the drop down menu from read only.
These aren't protected files or anything, they are files I've downloaded or created myself (one using the onboard web cam to test it).
I attempted to play with Terminal for a bit but as a newbie I got easily lost, not like I can fall back on command prompt knowledge from Windows!
I think it's somehow connected with the user which accesses these docs or tries to change the permissions. I also tried with an su- which meant I was using Terminal as root, however, I wasn't sure how I could then set the permissions for a particular file/folder within the file system.
i have 3 shares on my samba. i have users - user, manager and boss projects is RW to everyone reference is R to everyone RW to manager and boss Proposals is RW only to boss, no access to others However when boss logs in and creates a directory in projects share, the directory can only be renamed bu users and manager, and directory contents are read only for users and managers, even deletion / rename is denied. How can i make sure that when ever boss creates a directory in projects, it retains base folder permissions and is writable to user this is my samba file... i am using red hat 6.1 with samba 3.5.6 (i think)
