I have been trying to set up an LDAP server for a development environment as part of an internship for a week now, and I cannot get past this point.

How can I give execute permission to chmod command from run level 3.Because in GUI mode we have the execute option in the properties of file. E.g. I gave following command
chmod -x chomod
After that I want to give the execute permission (x) to chmod command again but how from command prompt?
nfs mounted directory which is mounted rw. I and everyone else are members of a common group. We all have write permissions in the tree: All files and directories in the tree are in the common group. All directories are set to 775 and all files are set to 664 or 775, as appropriate.If a file is owned by someone else, even though the file and the directory are group writable, I get permission denied when I try to chmod the file.

I've got some trouble while trying to install some applications on my linux system. It is said that the files in my /var/www/html/xxx directory, where I put them, is not writeable. The command chmod 777 xxx has been tried to make it work, but the error remains when I opened the applications again.
To be specific, I want to install phpFreeChat on my system, so I put those files in the /var/www/html/freechat directory, cd there and typed chmod 777 data/private, chmod 777 data/public on bash. Here's the result of list -al data:
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:07 .

drwxrwxrwx. 3 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:07 public
These all seemed all right to me, until I typed http://localhost/freechat in my browser. Here's the result:

Notice that "chmod" and "touch" are part of the package coreutils which gets installed only after these commands are used. I'm seeing a similar problem with selinux being referenced before the libselinux package is installed. I can boot the resulting image but after the kernel boots it panics because it cannot find /dev/root which might or might not have something to do with the errors above.

I've scanned my computer (I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) and ClamAV has issued it has found a virus called Exploit.PDF-9669. What seems strange to me is that such a warning always happens (or, at least, in the most cases) in the same folder tree "sys" and ClamAV issues the very same virus/malware warning (Exploit.PDF-9669).
An example:
sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon0/uevent: Exploit.PDF-9669 FOUND
sys/devices/virtual/net/ppp0/address: Exploit.PDF-9669 FOUND
sys/devices/virtual/net/ppp0/broadcast: Exploit.PDF-9669 FOUND
sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/uevent: Exploit.PDF-9669 FOUND
My ClamAV version is 0.94.2/10275/Fri Jan 8 22:06:46 2010. It has been not updated since I installed Hardy in my computer last year. Is my computer in danger?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a weird problem here. The open programs are closing secretly without giving any indication or issuing error. For example I open couple terminal and some minutes later I look at my screen, boom they are not there anymore. This issue is not just limited to terminals, other gui apps suffer from the same thing. Does anyone know if any program or service would do such a thing?. I am scratching my head here to figure out why that is the case It just started happening today.

Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?

I'm having problems with chmodding a NTFS directory. I'm having problems accessing the directory through samba because of some missing permissions, but when I try to set them, nothing happens.This is what I do:
Code:

I also tried to replace 'hdd.1' with '/media/hdd.1' and 'hdd.1/'
I have an external fat32 hard drive. It already has some files on it. Now, I mounted it and it shows the owner to be root. fine. but when I change the permissions, it does not seem to change it. I am not able able to access the directories, even as root !.I was able to create directories, but "luckybackup" wan not able to write to it due to permissions. I take it the lucky backup is executing as root/ but even otherwise, if I do chmod ugo+rwx, why do the permissions dont change ? (no erorr message by chmod).

What does chmod 000 do?when i create a chmod'd file with the 000 permission what happens?I tried creating a file with 000 permissions, and I was still able to read and write to it. So what what does chmod 000 actually do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on an Intel machine. The machine also has Windows 7. So some of the partitions of the hard drive are Windows compatible (NTFS). They are all mounted when system is booted with Ubuntu and all files are accessible. However, when I try to change permission or limit access to a group, CHMOD command does not work. It doesn't return any error and everything seems to work fine but I can't change any permission.
