General :: File-permissions On Read-only Media: Allowing For Access Without Chmod?

Mar 14, 2010

I've hit a wall here; I'm attempting to find some way by which to view files and cd into directories on a device mounted read-only. So I need the permissions to read, write, execute (and the same with directories), but chmodding is out of the question because I don't want to alter the drive one iota.

I guess what I could do--what I was thinking of initially--was to dupe the whole drive and then mess with permissions. This wouldn't affect the original (actually I'm working on a duplicate of the original, but I'm treating it as if it were the original) but I was hoping for something that would maintain data integrity. This is a forensic application and not altering the data is very important.

Ubuntu :: Edit File Permissions - Read / Write Access

May 6, 2010

I have apache2 running on my computer. I want to change the permissions for /var/www/ so that I can edit the files without a problem. Right now I can use the gksudo command, but I'd like to be able to have all the files available when using an IDE like eclipse.
I've read in several places that
Code:
chmod 755 /var/www
will do, but if I'm not mistaken that would give read/write access to anyone. I'm not in a production environment, so I'm not too worried about security, but I'd like to give anyone else as less permissions as possible. Would this be possible?

Ubuntu :: Chmod File Permissions Between User And Root ?

Jan 26, 2011

I want to have two kind of users in a work machine having ubuntu 10.04,

1) He is the admin, have sudo privilages and install, do all types of work, his username is abhilash

2) A user who is normally a IT administrator, who can just install or remove softwares, but cannot access files of abhilash.

I'm trying to do this and my head is going blank, The problem where i'm stuck is, if IT admin can install softwares, then he can become sudo as sudo su, then he can view my files

So here is a small test i did, first with abhilash.

Code:

Now others and group don't have any permissions! But when IT Administrator becomes root, he can see this file

Code:

General :: Permissions - Manually Mount A File System Read/write As A Normal User?

Oct 6, 2010

I want to simply mount an ext4 file-system onto a normal mount point in Ubuntu (/media/whereever), as read-writable for the current logged-in user, i.e. me.

I don't want to add anything into /etc/fstab, I just want to do it now, manually. I need super-user privileges to mount a device, but then only root can read-write that mount. I've tried various of the mount options, added it into fstab, but with no luck.

General :: Chmod: Changing Permissions Of Public_html: Operation Not Permitted

Apr 6, 2010

I run a small site and today I've discovered that my site is down. I found that cPanel has flagged the account suspended even though I haven't got any quotas on the account. I don't know what went wrong. I've tried to unsuspend the account in WHM but a certain part of the function failed.

Quote:

safe_userchgid: chown: /home/crocbits/public_html: Operation not permitted at /scripts/cPScript/SafetyBits.pm line 93.

After searching the internet someone mentioned that the problem might lie in the permissions of the public_html folder. I had a look at the permissions and the folder had no permissions d----- When I try to chmod the folder I get this error:

Quote:

chmod: changing permissions of `public_html': Operation not permitted

I have no idea what to do next. All the files in the directory are locked too. I tried to move them but this command isn't allowed either. I ran these commands under the 'root' user in SSH.

General :: Chmod Doesn't Change Permissions On Files In Subdirs

May 15, 2011

I have a Qnap 219p NAS to which I have connected a USB external harddrive. I can access the external harddrive from my windows box using the network share, but at first i couldn't access the folders. The permissions set in the NAS GUI for the external drive is correct and are identical to the permissions set to the 2 internal drives.

I ssh'ed to the nas and used 'chmod -R 770 /share/external/sds1' - this granted me access to the folders, and some files. I can open all files in the root, but if I go just 2 folders 'deeper', i can't open the files in this folder, and in the folders after that.

In ssh, if i navigate to the folder wher I cannot open the files and use 'ls -l', i can see that the permissions (770) hasn't been applied to these files. How can I get chmod to apply the 770 permission to all files, folders, subfolders and files in subfolders etc., without having to chmod every folder one by one?

Ubuntu :: Read Not Allowing Operators In Shell Scripts

Dec 26, 2010

I'm trying to write a small application controlling spotify, running under wine, that I can run from my desktop computer and use via SSH on my mobile phone, and so far I've been quite successful. At least until just recently, when I tried to use the read command to read a single key-press on my phone, and use that input instead of having to type the number for item in the menu I've created. I tried to simply use the read command to silently listen to one key-press and output it to the variable opt. To do this I tried:

read -s -n1 opt

When I ran this in a shell-script this I got:

read: 1: Illegal option -s

Seeing this, I tried to remove the -s operator, which left me with:

read: 1: Illegal option -n

I decided to remove all operators and echo the variable opt, leaving me with:

read opt
echo "$opt"

Which worked as expected. It echoed the key that I had pressed. I moved over to my terminal window and tried the read command from there, and it did exactly what it should. It silently recorded one key-press to the variable opt.

why isn't read working with operators in shell scripts?

General :: Fedora 15 To Automount Media With Non-root Permissions?

Jun 13, 2011

I'm Ubuntu ex-fan (because of gnome-shell).

On Ubuntu, there was this very sane feature (for laptop/desktop user): when you insert a thumbdrive or external usb media, the system mounts the media and sets all the correct permissions for the current non-root logged in user.

What do I have to change/edit/configure to make Fedora 15 behave like this?

Ubuntu Security :: File Access Permissions

Mar 3, 2010

I am setting up a new ubuntu server, and I am quite new to linux. This server will be used as code repository for a project I am going to be working on. I plan to setup 3 groups for users: dev, test, doc

- for various developers, testers and documentation users.

I would like to setup the following permissions on the main code repository directory:

dev - write permission
test - execute permission
doc - read permission
public (anyone outside these groups) - deny all access

I am unsure what chmod setting to use, or if this is even possible in ubuntu.
