Slackware :: Can't Change The Group Permission For The Folder

Jan 13, 2010

I've installed slax6 onto an ext3 partition and setup a users account, i've also just managed to mount some virtualbox shared folders which are working and i can access them fine. The problem is I cannot seem to give limited user accounts access to them. root can access them no problem! but right clicking and changing the permissions do nothing, because once I click apply, reopen the menu, the changes have reverted. I've tried chmod'ing them.. chmod o=rwx /mnt/folder I used 'o' because I can't seem to change the group permission for the folder. The shared folder I am mounting is formatted in NTFS and the other in ext3, I can't change the permissions of either.

Ubuntu :: No Write Permission Even Though User Is Member Of Folder Group?

Oct 29, 2010

I'm having an odd problem (although I'm probably missing something obvious to a non-semi-newbie):I have a directory used for samba shares which is owned by user fred, a system user which the windows clients on my network authenticate with to access the shares. I, roger, want to access the directories without having to put my 'sudo boots' on every time, so I made the directory group users and added roger to that group, and changed the file/folder modes from 0755 to 0775.However I still do not have write permissions inside the directory; I still seem to be considered 'other' and hence only have read and execute.

General :: Permission Denied When Accessing VirtualBox Shared Folder When Member Of The Vboxsf Group

Jul 7, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (guest) on Windows 7 (host) with the guest additions installed. I have an auto-mount folder that maps to my D: drive on the host which I can access using sudo ls /media/sf_D_DRIVE - however, even when my user (ross) is a member of the vboxsf group I get a permission denied error when attempting to explore it. I have restarted since adding my user to the vboxsf group.

This should work because I am a member of the group (which has rwx rights), so why doesn't it?

ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media
total 8
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 8192 2011-07-03 22:24 sf_D_DRIVE
ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media/sf_D_DRIVE/
ls: cannot open directory /media/sf_D_DRIVE/: Permission denied

[Code].....

Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted. Now how i can possibly share my folder on local network so that they can be edited by others without getting locked down , if they copy files i can able to modify them.

Ubuntu :: Accidental Permission Change To 'none' On Folder?

Mar 13, 2010

A rather new user here, was messing with the preferences on a user folder of mine on Karmic, looking for a way to make the folder invisible to users (like the old windows option). Set it to 'none', then closed it, returned to the directory finding the folder with a box with an 'x' on it.

Went to open it, it says 'access denied'. So I think 'okay, how do I undo that', go back to see if I can restore it back to 'read & write' with no sucess.

Seached the forums for a solution to this issue, most of solutions revolve around 'gksudo nautilus' which I attempted to open via command-line. Nothing seemed pop open after I entered my password in responce to entering said command-line, probably because I really don't know how to use Nautilus.

Networking :: Permission / Group After Sshing Into Box

Nov 4, 2010

I've got a problem with groups on linux (slackware). I'm trying to ssh from one computer into another to do some work, but I'm running into permission issues.

If I do the work locally as a user
If I do the work with ssh as root
If I do the work with ssh as a user ;(

Both computers are mine. (By locally, I mean physically sitting by that computer logging in the normal way.) When I log in locally as a regular user I'm a member of the following groups: 'users floppy audio video cdrom' But when I ssh into the same computer, being the same user, I'm only a member of the group: 'users'

Q1. What gives? Where/How can I change this?

Q2. Also, where do linux/slackware store the group information? According to /etc/group I'm only member of 'users'. Where does it keep the info that I belong to 'users floppy audio video cdrom'?

Ubuntu Servers :: Group Permission On Dir And Files For Apache

Mar 5, 2011

Me and 2 others are working on a website (Bob, Mike, and Joe). We made a group called developers and each of us are in the developers group. The Apache server runs as www-data. When we upload files, the file owner is the users name and the group is "developers".

/etc/group has the following

Code:
www-data:x:33:
bob:x:1000:
mike:x:1001:

[Code]....

I have always just set everything to 775 and just called it good. Well I don't want to wake up to a Russian political message plastered all over the site. It's time I do things properly.

Ubuntu :: File (group) Permission Dont Work As Expected

Feb 4, 2011

Well, this is a problem that keeps on coming, and I never found a solution: Maybe it is just me misunderstanding how it should work, but:

1) do you confirm that, as a member of the group "fuse", I should be able to read the file?
2) of course, I could change the permission of the file, or read it as sudo, but sometimes this is not possible. how to achieve it then?

I'm trying to do something like thisi created a group called www and made this group the owner of the directory/var/www/htmlso i can read and write to it.of course I've add my self to this group, but it seems i can't read and write.the syntax i used was something like chown :www /var/www/html.didn't workonly when i used chown samurai:www /var/www/html i could finally could create new file.the reason i don't want to specify the user name is because I'm thinking of a scenario when i need to give permission to a large group of ppl and don't want to do it user by user.

Server :: Saving A File Removes The Group Execute Permission?

May 23, 2011

Here are some example files that are shared through samba:

-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file1.txt
-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file2.txt

When user2 (who is also a member of group1) edits file2.txt the permissions change:

-rwxrwx--- user1 group1 file1.txt
-rwxrw---- user2 group1 file2.txt

user1 then has issues opening the file. This also goes for new files that are created (they are missing the group execute permission).

I have set the option "create mask = 0770" in my smb.conf. Without this set, permissions default to something like -rwxr--r--

Server :: Group Permissions With In Folder

May 30, 2010

I am running into a Brick wall with this. And thought that the knowledge and expertise here would be a good place to seek help.I have CentOS 5.4 server running Samba on a WinBloZ network. I have the groups all setup and that aspect works fine. But here lies the issues.In a shared directory with group permissions set if someone on the group with permission to this directory creates a file they are the only person that can edit / modify that file. That file need to be editable by the entire group. But the only way thus far I can achieve this is to manually chmod the files in the directory. I know there is a way to fix this, but I have not found it. Can someone please explain how to make this work for me.
