General :: Untarred Files On Server Has Different Owner?
Aug 10, 2010
I am creating a tar gzipp'ed archive on my local machine (as user1) using the following commands:
user1@devmachine:~/$ tar czpf
dir.tar.gz thedirectory
on the server, I untar it (as user 2) using the command
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

The server is named alpha and is running Archlinux. It is exporting a directory named /files. The server is a couple of years old and I have accessed it extensively from clients running Arch, Suse, PCLinuxOS, and maybe some others, all with no problems. The clients (3 of them) are new installations of Linux Mint 10 (Julia). When I mount the nfs all of the nfs files are visible as expected. However, the owner/group is drastically different than on the server.
I might add that I have set up user id's and group id's the same. My user is 1003 on all systems, and the users group is 100 on all systems. When I am on alpha (via ssh), here is a partial file listing.
Code:
[dick@alpha dick]$ ls -l
total 9740
drwxr-xr-x 3 dick users 4096 May 16 2009 airplane
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dick users 240978 Jun 27 2009 Alice Grad 1934.pdf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dick users 444 Jul 8 2007 alpha2ast
-rw-r--r-- 1 dick users 444 Sep 2 2009 alpha2charlie
[Code]...
If have searched the Mint forums, LQ forums, and google in general. I must be missing something in my search because I can't believe that no one else has this same problem and I am having it on 3 different boxes.

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?

For example /dev/loop*, /dev/raw/*, etc., they are automatically reset to root/root after rebooted.Change the owner/permission of device files maybe not a good idea, though. I just want to know if it is possible and how?

have recently installed ubuntu server on a new machine. I have added 3 users and I have assigned them to a group.The three of us work together on a lot of stuff so what I would like to do is to have a specific folder made the groups folder. All files that are created or moved into this folder should automatically be owned by the group. I.e. all 3 of us should have the right to read and write to these files.

I'm trying to understand the last few hours... I installed slackware 13 yesterday in a multiboot system. On a seperate hdd from all the OS's I have my mp3 collection......I could play the mp3's as root after manually mounting sdb, but as a user I was unable to play them even though I chown'ed and chmod'ed 777 until I mounted sdb in fstab. The second drive was formatted ntfs by vista.

When I use ls -al to show files downloaded from internet,
-rw-rw-r-- 1 427 6011 7544 Jul 20 2006 INSTALL
-rw-rw-r-- 1 427 6011 4229 Dec 9 15:36 Makefile.am
-rw-rw-r-- 1 427 6011 27893 Dec 10 17:47 Makefile.in
I can see the owner and group ids are shown because there are no corresponding entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group respectively. I don't know much about linux and dare not to edit these files, I wonder if somebody already knows whether linux would map the owner id of files coming from other computers to the account name in /etc/passwd and display them when necessary (for example, when using ls -al)?

I am trying to change the owner name of some files but when I use "chown" they keep changing for other different user name(postgres):
Code:
[root@server root]$ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3911 Nov 2 2008 test1
[root@server root]$chown newuser test1
[root@server root]$
[root@server root]$ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres root 3911 Nov 2 2008 test1
How I would fix this, I tried to change the bashrc but I couldn't

I have a disk that I access from several locations. I require that all the files created always have the same owner, at least group wise. I have different users (that are in that group) that need to be able to read/write all these files. I have these users access the files over samba, and sometimes locally on the server. I know that you can do something with a thing called sticky group or whatever, that files created in a dir with that flag will get the same group, but it has not worked consistently so far. It must also work for directories created by these users.The permissions should be 770 (chmod).Is there a way to set this up, that all files created always have the same group? Right now I am running a cron job every hour or so, to chmod and chown all the files to the right group, but this is far from elegant of course

On my RHES4 I noticed a load of files which had owner set as the owners uid rather than the actual username - is this usual behaviour ? On a similar system the same files actually have the username as the owner.It's just causing me issues as I have changed the users ID and now some thing's wont start meaning I have to manually do a find and chown on the system.

CentOS 5.4 install, likewise open standard install (For active directory authentication).I have a license service which requires a license.txt be in the users home directory.The group owner for license.txt must be the same as the license service. Whenever a new domain user logs in, it creates the all the appropriate files but the group owner for license.txt is the users domain group. My current workaround seems like more effort than it's worth, is there another way to get this process solved easier/more secure?
- copy the license.txt into /etc/skel
- created a script to check for the presence of license.txt, check it's permissions and change them if necessary
- gave the domain's group sudo [nopasswd] access to the script (the script is not writable)
- execute the script in /etc/bashrc

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
drwxr-xr-x 9 apache webusers 4096 2010-03-15 20:34 html

A 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.

This is about ubuntu 10.04
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".
