due to an exercise in Operating Systems I have to do the following: There are 6 users, user1, user2 ... user6 with home directories /users/user1 ... users/user6. User1 to user3 belong to group1, user4 to user6 belong to group2. The System Administrator wants to change the privilege* only to users 1, 2 and 3 to execute the file /bin/xxx. Which are the commands he has to type in order to achieve the previous?*I'm not sure if this is the right translation.What I have come till now is: Code: $ chgrp group1 <name_of_file> but it seems too simple to be right.

I just noticed that even if I remove read and write permission for my files, another user can access those files if they use 'sudo'. The ls -l for the folder containing my file (let's call is myfile') looks like this.
"
Code:
-rw------- 1 username groupname 43 2010-03-09 20:23 myfile
"
I logged into another account I have made for myself (which had admin privileges) and then did
Code:
sudo nano /username/home/myfile
and ... the file was opened and I was able to read it. So what's the point of having user permissions if someone can bypass them by using sudo?

On my 10.04 desktop i have some maps from a user that doesn't exist anymore, but I can't do anything with it. Is there a possibility to make a "open as sudo" or something like that in the mouse menu? I haven't found an other way to do something with these maps

I had 9.04 64-bit with / and /home in separate partitions. Today I used 10.10 alternate install to install a command line system. Then installed gnome-core, synaptic, gparted, and a few other things. Now when I go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager or to Gparted, I am asked for the "administrator password". I type in my password, but it is not accepted. However, from a terminal I can "sudo synaptic", give my password, and install whatever I want.

I'm new to linux but slowly getting the hang of things... I downloaded an application with a .sh extension. I typed "bash filename.sh" It appears to start trying to execute it and then says that it can't display the GUI because it needs access to an X server

Some time ago I installed LAMP in my server, but now I need to execute .php files from the command-line (in order to execute some manteinance scripts for mediawiki). Seems that the PHP files running in the server are run thru some kind of "module" in apache2. Can I tell apache2 to run a .php file in command-line mode using that php module? Or should I install a fresh copy of php-5? Won't that interfere with apache or mangle the system?

So I have an NTFS volume with many programs I (used to) use on a regular basis. Since upgrading to 10.10, I can't use them. Obviously, an execute bit cannot be added onto files on an NTFS volume. These are Windows programs that ran perfectly with WINE on 10.04. I have tried
Code:
mount -o remount,exec /media/0A08B33E08B32819
It doesn't work. I do not have the luxury of installing PlayOnLinux to do the script workaround. The programs are too large to move to the EXT4 volume I have set up for Linux. I need a work around on this ASAP or I'm ditching Ubuntu for good. From the stupid "let's make the buttons on the left like Mac" (which I have switched back over, but it's still annoying) in Lucid to this glorious fail in Maverick, Debian is looking better and better. Besides, it's not like the packages installed in Ubuntu can't be installed in other distros.

I am very new to Linux and everything I read says the android OS is based on Linux. That said I am evaluating 2 Android tablets. The Samsung Galaxy and the Motorola Xoom. I am trying to execute wmv files in a web browser, the wmv files download as .wvx rather than play. I have installed flash but the problem continues.

I'm running WoW through wine. In order to install addons I need to give all the files in the program permission to execute as a program. the problem is I can't (dont know how) just right click the folder and give everything inside permission i have to open each one and give them all permission, which can quickly turn into hundreds depending on the addon. how to give permission to execute as a program to all the files in a folder at once it would save me a lot of clicking and time.

I am trying to move our current system running on Mason, Apache 1.34 and Mod_perl1.0 to Apache2&mod_perl2.0. I am currently unable to execute the mason files, I tried a test.pl file which is executing. I have referred to the multiple forums, http://www.masonhq.com/?FAQ:Components & http://perl.apache.org. But so far the Mason files are displaying as text but not executing the embedded html. Kindly let me know if anyone had a similar issue and how did you go about resolving the same.

So I made two shell scripts under /usr/bin/ (would've preferred under ~/bin, but I couldn't get it to add that folder to the path, even when appending it to ~/.bash_profile), named 'Wine' and 'Wine64', each containing something like this:
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
FILE1=$1
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/##/.wine64/ /usr/bin/wine64 $FILE1
So basically it's a script to automate the switching between wine architectures and to set the proper prefix path. While this works fine when launching an application from a terminal, say:
Code: Select all$ Wine64 some-windows64-app.exe
I can't get it to work when right clicking the said executable, and opening it with Wine64 (which I previously added it as a choice in the context menu) So is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this not possible at all? In the latter case, is there any way to achieve this through other means?
I'm doing it this way as I'm installing this system for a relative that isn't that knowledgeable with Linux (so I would like to avoid instructing them how to launch commands in a terminal), but would still like to offer him a Windows compatibility layer for the odd Windows-only app that he might need.

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.

We have started using ACLs on our fileserver and we are having a problem with getting Samba to behave correctly. When we create a file in Linux, the permissions and ACLs are set correctly. Files are set to 640 and directories are set to 750. However, when we create it in Windows through Samba, regular files are being set with 650 and directories are set to 770. It's adding execute on files and execute+write to directories for groups.

I have recently installed FC12 64 bit. I have been using Fedora now since I first installed FC9 a few years back.
My main problem is that I am unable to execute any files at all using the ./filename command. I spent last night trying to run the ipod bootloader and all I kept on getting was the message: unable to run binary file. I used the command chmod +x ipodpatcher before attempting to run it, but with no luck. After a while of frustration and a few suggestions online I booted up my Ubuntu OS and the file ran first time. Am I missing a program on FC12? Do I need to install something else?
I feel it may be simple, however I have never experienced this problem before using Fedora. Any suggestions?

I have a machine with 8 cores. I have a directory of input files that I need to process using a non-parallelized program. I would like to write a script that works its way through a list of commands executing 8 commans (i.e., instances of this program; each with specific flags having to do with the current input file) until the list of commands has been exhausted. Is there an easy way to do this?
Code:
hamstrsearch_local-hmmer3.pl -protein -refspec=lotgi_2713 -hmmset=lophotrochozoa_hmmer3 -sequence_file=Aplysia_californica.fas -taxon=ACAL
