I've already done the following commands
Code:
su
chown theif519 /home/theif519
chmod 775 /home/theif519
exit
#usermod -d /home/theif519 login
I've logged out and logged back in, and I was successful in making it the default directory it logs in to. Still, afterwards I noticed that that when I use the list all commands "ls -l" it shows that root owns it and it also shows that I do not, by default, have read write execute over it, only read execute. I'm using Slackware 13.37* in a Virtual Machine* Another thing, I don't think I added any rights to my user, how do I give it more rights as well? Like, wheel and sudo and all of that stuff. Also, this was the website I was using *Although it didn't help much, the comments sure did [URL].

I have my hard drive arranged with a single large ntfs data partition and a number of smaller partitions for /home etc. Here's the line in fstab:
Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD103SJ_S246J9FZ806954-part2 /home/shmuck/data ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
But the ownership for that directory is root and I can't change it for some reason, using this line:
Code:
sudo chown -R shmuck /home/shmuck/data
It just doesn't do anything.

Installed Sidux over LennySidux didn't want to take my usual username, because a folder with that name existed in my home directory.So, I just mounted the home partition and changed the name of my home directory from shay to shay1.Don't know what that did or didn't do permission wise to the files in my old home directory, but I've got a few unowned files floating around my home directory anyway that have been dragged in from old harddrives and such.

how I managed this, but somehow during a reinstall I changed the ownership of all my home stuff to root, instead of my normal username. So now nothing loads, unless I sudo it. I had to use sudo just to open firefox.

I have a dual-boot macbook with an OS X partition and an ubuntu partition. When I first installed ubuntu, I changed my home folder to my OS X home directory to synchronize all my files from both. My home directory is now /media/sda2/Users/username/. In a regular home folder, the icons for Documents, Music, Pictures, Movies, etc. are different (not just with emblems, but actually different icons). But when I changed my home folder, these subfolders' icons stayed the same as regular folder icons and I can't figure out a way to change that default setting. I know how to change the icons for each folder manually, but these changes don't appear everywhere (i.e. nautilus, places, etc). Furthermore, every time I change my icon theme, I would have to manually reassign icons for these folders. Is there a way to globally change the folder icons for these folders?

I have noticed that on a Mac which is Unix based too there is a different home directory which is NOT /home/user/ but /Users/user. How can I change my home directory in linux to something else? Even as an experiment? Is it possible? and how?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME

how to change when running command "adduser" or "useradd" the placement of the users home directory. Have tried editing the /etc/default/useradd file with no results.
I want it to be placed in /var/www And I would also want to know how more folders and files can be created in the home directory automatically.

I now have my ssh server all setup on my ubuntu 10.10 machine and properly working with a private rsa key. Anyway when I connect to it via my client it opens to: /home/myusername
I am able to run around the whole drive and have full access to everything, which is great. But I don't have anything on this hard drive. All my data and files that I really want to access are on the second drive of this computer. It doesn't have an OS on it, just files.how to change the directory to point to that drive and have full access of everything.

I have an interdependent collection of scripts in my ~/bin directory as well as a developed ~/.vim directory and some other libraries and such in other subdirectories. I've been versioning all of this using git, and have realized that it would be potentially very easy and useful to do development and testing of new and existing scripts, vim plugins, etc. using a cloned repo, and then pull the working code into my actual home directory with a merge.
The easiest way to do this would seem to be to just change & export $HOME, eg
cd ~/testing; git clone ~ home
export HOME=~/testing/home
cd ~
screen -S testing-home
# start vim, write/revise plugins, edit scripts, etc.
# test revisions
However since I've never tried this before I'm concerned that some programs, environment variables, etc., may end up using my actual home directory instead of the exported one. Is this a viable strategy? Are there just a few outliers that I should be careful about?

When I booted up this morning the contents of my Home directory are all showing up on my desktop, and there is no single Home folder. How did this change, and how can I change it back so that the Home folder is on my Desktop with the contents inside of *it*?

OS: CentOS 5.3
vsftpd ver: vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5_3.1
I installed vsftpd server in one of my servers using "yum install vsftpd" command. NFS server is running in the other server and mounted as "/data" in this FTP server. root in FTP server has also root authority in NFS server. All the files and sub-folders under "/data" in FTP server have 755 or 766 mode. Even I modified vsftpd setting to allow root login.
When I login as root to FTP server with FileZilla client, I can see all the file list in root home directory and move to /data directory. I can download any file in a local HDD but I can not download any file in /data directory.

I am writing a script that is checking the ownership and permissions of a directory. If the directory in question does not have the correct ownership and permissions, the script will run the appropriate commands to give it the correct settings. The if...then...else syntax. The idea here is the following:
Code:
If <directory> no eq = <ownership root:root> && <permissions 755>
then chown root:root <directory> && chmod 755 <directory>
else exit
fi
What would the correct syntax be for the If line of the loop in question?

I need to install a script into my Gimp folder which is owned by root. I tried "chown my name usr/ share/ gimp2.0/scripts" in terminal, but it tells me folder does not exist. I know I'm missing something, but I haven't done this in a while, so I'm not sure what it is.

I have a server running Ubuntu server edition with SMB server all set up and running. I've set up the main root of the drive to be shared and I've set up a user in /etc/samba/smbusers to say root = "joeflood" so I can sign in as root using the username "joeflood". This works and I have read/write access to the filesystem (yay!). However, if I browse to /home/javawag (my main user home directory), I no longer have write permissions! I can see all the files in there and read them no problem, but writing is a no-go. I'm logged in as root though?! Btw, I can login via SSH and create folders/etc as root in the /home/javawag folder, and they showed up in the SMB mount on my mac too.

I have an NFS mount on the NIS client that I want to use as the home directory for all NIS users logging in, but I also want to retain the original /home directory for system users and root on the same client.The NFS mount is /nishome, and when I defined the NIS user on the the NIS server, I identified this mountpoint as the NIS users' home directory. This same NFS mount is mounted on the NIS server as well.

Why would I need to be root to change the ownership of a file? Example: I'm logged in as dwadmin and I've created a file:
-rw-rw---- 1 dwadmin dgw 0 Jun 17 07:46 testing.txt
I want to change the ownership to another user, but am getting the following error: chown 511 testing.txt chown: changing ownership of `testing.txt': Operation not permitted

I am a Linux Noob of the major kind.I have an MP3 player that is owned by root. I have a SANDISK it in also. I can copy files to the player despite it being owned by root but I can't copy them to the SANDISK which is also owned by root. So what is suppose to be after the colon?How do I determine what that is if it is a directory?How do I change to root to change ownership if that is what I need to do?Is there an application that I can use to change ownership easy and what user do I have to be to do that.

I am using NIS and I want to replace this with 389 ds. I have installed 389 ds and configured it. I could create user account from 389-console. But it does not create user home directory. Do I have to create user account and user home directory in linux first?
