Ubuntu :: Change Owner To Everyone, All Users, Or *
May 30, 2010
Change Owner to Everyone, All Users, or *
How do I change the owner of a folder to Everyone?
In Windows, I can just right click folder > Properties > Security > Edit... > Add... > Advanced... > Find Now > Select "Everyone" > OK > OK > Set Everyone permissions > OK > OK. ^ See, so easy!
Every time I login or restart, I have to launch these commands:
Code:
I need to access the /var/spool/cups/ spool folder, but having to re-do that is so annoying.

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 cannot write files to an ext4 partition I created unless using gksu nautilus, so I tried Code: sudo chown my_user /dev/sda3 but the owner is still reported in the properties to be root. /dev/sda3 is the path I see in gparted.

I have all my music/photos etc. on a different partition to my Ubuntu and Windows partitions.
However, I can't make any changes like deleting files/renaming etc. because I'm not the partition's 'owner' or i'm not in root.
change the ownership of the partition so I can change files from Ubuntu.

I use a mounted NTFS filesystem as my main data storage drive. I then symlink all my Windows folders (Documents, Pictures, etc.) into my Ubuntu home folder. Works great, because it means I can share files between Windows and Ubuntu hassle-free. However, any file created on or saved to the NTFS partition automatically has its owner set as "root". Is it possible to set the default owner to me (aaron)? Or does it have to be root on NTFS?

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?

In my /var/www directory, I have everything set up with:
user: www-data
group: developers
directories: chmod 570
files: chmod 460
Everything seems fine. Users from the developers group can edit files and all, but now we began using the Git repository, and whenever a user edits a file (ie. Joe who is a developer,) file permissions get screwed again. Now they're:
user: Joe
group: Joe
directories: chmod 755
files: chmod 644
How can I fix this so permissions remain the same?

On my dual-boot system, 11.4 and win7, Iped out the Doc and DL folders in my home directory and replaced 'em with links to the ones on the windows side. It works great except for one thing: When I open Dolphin in superuser mode and change the permissions to make myself the owner of those folders, the change doesn't take. Is there a special trick to it?GEFPS: I plan to use openSUSE as my main OS, but it's easier to keep my data on the NTFS partition, because Linux speaksindows better than than Windows speaks Linux. Besides, that's where my data already lives

While I'm a fan of Gnome, I'd prefer if the user "kids" logs in as KDE by default. Is there any way to toggle which desktop environment it automatically logs in to?

I'm setting up an application server for a small organization using Ubuntu 10.04 and LTSP. We built a machine with a quad core Athlon II, got a Gigabit swtich, and a couple Gigabit ethernet cards. I burned gPXE into a couple EPROMs and turned their old PIII and Duron systems into thin clients.
So far so good.
Now, I'm trying to set up a shared directory that two users in the same group can both read and write. Let's call it "/home/shared". I want to set UMASK to 007, so that by default, files are created readable and writable by user and group, with no permissions for anybody else. I changed a line in "/etc/profile" from "umask 022" to "umask 007". After rebooting the app server, the umask does appear to be 007 when you log in at the console. However, it doesn't seem to affect the terminals.
So I figured I needed to change it in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile". vi helped me out with that. Didn't make a difference in the terminals. Ok, I need to rebuild the image, so I did an "ltsp-update-image" and rebooted the terminal. umask is still 022. ???
I changed UMASK in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/login.defs" and rebuilt the image. No change. ??? I really don't understand why this isn't working.
How can I change the UMASK for users who log in on an LTSP terminal?

I'm looking to customize the environment for new users by changing the items in the GNOME menu, change the panel layout, add some shortcuts, and do a few other things. I looked in /etc/skel and there doesn't seem to be anything GNOME related in there; I also tried to put .gconf, .gconfd and .gnome2 from my home directory into /etc/skel and that didn't do what I wanted.

Right i did a clean install of Fc15 and used a custom layout with separate /home partition. when it all installed It had created /home in the /root partition. so I then moved the /home directory to the partition I intended, added the relevant fstab entries and re granted permissions etc to the relevant files. All done with a live cd.
the problem is when i rebooted all settings worked as the partitions mounted with all the /home directories and all my user settings are in tact but when i click home in KDE's kick off it tried to open root? So all im wondering is how could i change the default /home back to my user account? as all i seem to find online is how to specify a /home with useradd

I got myself curious on the possibility to change user's permission to any command, or at least giving other users some command line "power".
It all started a few days ago, when another user here, had a problem so that the computer wasn't answering.
So, after waiting a while, chose to hit the Reset button and start the computer again.
Considering this situation, I thought myself that it would have been better to restart the computer, through command line, on any terminal (F1-F6). Anyway, this user is no administrator, thus wouldn't have permission to use the code...
So, is it possible to let other users to use such commands, in order to safe rebooting the system, without logging as root?

My company has policy that user accounts expire once a month and they also get locked out if they re-try login more than 3 times (pam_tally). It gets very annoying every time they come and ask to get password changed.How do I let users change their own password? Also let the system email them every day for two weeks before password expiration and until they change their password?
