Security :: Default Group For Multiple Developers?
Feb 9, 2010
OK I have multiple developers on a system and I have setup a area on the web server where they all should have access to and all that fun stuff. Now I do not want to setup these developers default group to be this single group cause they could be members of multiple groups...
IE:
/var/www/cust1 - Group Cust1
/var/www/cust2 - Group Cust2
etc...
Then say for the developers:
dev1 - member of Cust1 & Cust2 - Default group is dev1
dev2 - member of Cust2 - Default group is dev2
dev3 - member of Cust1 - Default group is dev3
So when they go into say /var/www/cust1 only dev1 & dev3 should have access to modify files and when they create/edit files the owner should be the user and the group I want it to be Cust1. Then when going to say the Cust2 area new files and stuff have Cust2 group access with RWX.
Is this possible for users to just use their normal accounts, or will I need to look are setting up "project" accounts where they can su into say dev1cust1 account which will have the default group of Cust1?
how you all handle this and what I might be able to do so that the permissions stick.

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?

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?

I have a number of users, categorised into various groups. I would like one of those groups ("developers") to be in the wheel group as well. I don't want to just copy the people from the developers group into wheel, because then when that group changes I'll have to change it in two places. Is there a way to specify that anyone in developers is in wheel, and have that be dynamic?

I am not familiar with LVM at all, although I have successfully got it up and running in Slackware. What I would like to know is, could I create one Volume Group in a Physical Volume consisting at the moment of just one disk, and install separate Linux releases into Logical Volumes in this solitary VG? So, for example:
/dev/sda1 = Physical Volume
volgroup = Volume Group
lv01-root = Slackware root
[code]....

I can't figure out how to make files have a different default owner:group.. Example:I need the users of my group called gpib, to create new files with: username:gpib, instead of the default: username:username
[Code]...

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

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 have a shared, family computer which has USB drives attached to it. Multiple users can be logged in, that sort of thing. All of the users have been added to "Access external storage devices automatically", however I've noticed that when one user plugs in a USB device, the other users can't see it without unmounting/remounting. When a drive is mounted, it seems to mounted at:
drwx------ 5 jdoe jdoe 4096 2011-08-10 12:03 DriveName/
What I want to do is change the default mount group settings, to:
drwxrwx--- 5 jdoe family 4096 2011-08-10 12:03 DriveName/
I know I can do this through fstab, but as far as I know that forces you to name the drive/mount point and that's not what I'm looking for, what if a user adds a NEW usb device and wants it shared with the other users?

We have a linux(SUSE 10) server that authenticates against AD(Windows 2003). Problem is anyone with an AD account can ssh in to the server. We don't want anyone to be able to login via ssh only the users in one particular group. I have tried editing the sshd_config file and adding the group to AllowGroups but this doesn't work. I have searched google and have not had much luck in finding anything.

What would be the effect of setting ProFTPd's user and group to the same user and group that Apache use? Are there any security risks in doing this, or is this safe to do?

Long time reader, first time poster. I've got, what has become to me, a brain bender. It seems ACL's are the best way to go, but I am not 100% sure. Each user should be able to create files and modify each others'files, but should not be able to delete any one elses files in a directory.chmod -1777?setfacl?

I was about to post a new thread and saw that there are several answers out here already and I have done the new group permission one on my server -- actually on my test server I just added "my user" to the group "root" to gain rw access to /var/www/htdocs/.Someone suggested that the proper way might be to do symlinks to the directory in a real production environment and I wanted to find out if that is the *best* way to go or whether to actually make a group "www_admin" (pick your favorite flavor of this) and add my users to that group?
I guess I am looking for the "best practice" in a real corporate production environment that is most secure.

The default Firewall ufw is not enabled by default at the time of installation and it has to be enabled by the user.Isn't this a security risk or is the user whether ufw is enabled or not secured from external threats?I am not much knowledgeable about network security But I am trying to understand the Ubuntu mentality behind this default setting.

I'm working in Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop with Apache installed. I have a directory /var/www/test:drwxrwxr-x 5 root www-data 4096 2010-01-04 13:51 test And I've added myself as a member of the group www-data. Problem though is when i go into /var/www/test I still can't do anything, whether it's creating a new file or directory or editing files there. The files within the directory are also 775 and setup under group www-data.

I'm looking for a Linux distribution that is somewhat smaller than the large distros out there. Possibly somewhere to hang my hat where I may be able to contribute a little something and where there would be friendly developers. Are there any projects out there that are basically run by a community of folks (not a corporation) that would welcome users and maybe .

What is the code snippet required to get an image to repeat vertically up a page? I can only find info relating to repeating *background* images in my search attempts, and this is just a regular image file which I want to repeat over the pre-existing page background. I'd like it to repeat all the way up the extreme left hand edge of the page. Say the image is called abd.jpg and is in the same folder as the index.html.

I have several directories, each owned by root and a group of the same name,By setting the sgid bit, I made sure that newly created files and directories are owned by the correct group, and that directories have the sgid bit set too.On each newly created directory or file, the permissions are set to 755. This is because this is the default umask, and I cannot change a users umask. I actually only want files created below a particular directory to have group write access, inheriting this behaviour to newly created directories properly.I'm not on samba or NFS, I have to do this for SSH users.The filesystem is ext3.I started to fool around with ACLs, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
