Subject: file & directory permisions!?!?
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 02:01:36 GMT

I have a shared group account that several people are supposed to have
access to.  My problem is that when one person accesses the group
directory and creates a file or directory the user is set to the person
that created the file and the group is set to the shared groupe but the
permisions are set so that only the user has access to the file.

I want to set it up so that the files will be available to the whole
group.  I also need to keep the files in the users home directorys
unavailable to the other users.  And nothing in the group directory
should be accessable to anyone that's not a member of the group.

It's all linux, it should all be the same. However, when building the
kernel, some distributions use an initial ramdisk (initrd). Check the
Kernel-HOWTO, my distro (Slackware) does not do this.

Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 02:17:50 GMT

I have win 95 and linux on my hard disk and it was running well till I did
some changes to partition. Now when I try to boot win 95, I get error
"extended partition is not bootable". I can boot from floppy and change to
C, but anything I do in C:\ will give error "Invalid media type reading
drive c" and I am forced to Abort. Fdisk shows the partition correctly but
Filesystem is shown as unknown. Scandisk does not recognize drive C:. Linux
is running properly. MBR is written by Linux and I have had no problems with
that.

Any help to bring back win 95 to life is appreciated.

Thanks

This is only a suggestion.  BACK UP WHAT YOU CAN, BEFORE ATTEMPTING.

Use linux fdisk
# fdisk /dev/hda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4982.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

John,

I just read the manual for the latest LILO that I have (21.6).

It says this regarding the warning message you are referring to:

LILO's boot sector can only be booted from the first disk unless some
special boot manager is used.

At the risk of being redundant, could you post your complete lilo.conf
again (I think you did once already, and I apologize to all for the re-request).

Thanks.

You could run Linux and run the Linux 'fdisk' command and set the partition
type from there.

This must be done carefully. :-)

If you need some help figuring out fdisk after reading any docs you can find
post another question.

Give the shared directory 2770 so files created there will have the group
of the dir, however, default file permissions will be determined by the
user's umask.  So if their umask is 022, user's may need to chmod g+w any
files they create.  On RH with default umask 002 it should not be
a problem.

User's home directories could be 700 (or 701 if apache needs to access
their public_html, but public_html would typically have 755 permission).

A couple of things come to mind:

1. When users log in, have their profile set umask to ensure that the
group permissions are what you want (eg, 002).

2. As root, chmod the parent of the group directory (and subdirectories) to
SUID group (see 'man chmod' and consider "chmod g+s file") which will
cause files and directories that are created under those directories to
have the same group name as the parent (which doesn't have to be the same
as the users' default groups).

In either case, if you haven't already, you might want to have each
user be in more than one group: their "default" group, and the "public"
one that you use for this particular sharing.

SuSE 6.x requires 16 Mb of RAM to install. Linux itself will run with
less memory, but SuSE's installation programme requires 8 Mb.

Try using a distribution that requires less memory. I believe that
Debian's installation may work with 8 Mb of RAM.

You can also try adding more memory, if your system supports it. Used
30-pin SIMMs are pretty cheap, and you'll definitely see the difference
in performance.

I have an example of a script I use at http://www.de-srv.com/linux/
Although, I now run my own DNS, so I deleted the parts from my own copy
that manipulate /etc/resolv.conf.  If pppd has dynamic IP, you also

AFAIK this only works reliably when accessing the filesystem via a shell
(not via ftp, those permissions are set by the ftp-client). 

Set the umask by adding the environment variable UMASK to your
environment, fi add a line "export UMASK=007" to your .bashrc or .login
or by doing adding the line "umask 007" to either of those files.

The "umask" works like this. By default files are created with
permissions set as " 666 - umask" and directories will have permissions
" 777 - umask" so an umask value of 007 will set the permissions of all
files you create by default to "-rw-rw----" and directories to
"drwxrwx---" 
Executable files always have to be explicitely made executable, with
either "chmod 770 file.exe" or "chmod ug+x file.exe"
The exact functioning of the umask is dependant on the shell you use, it
is a built-in function, not an external programme.

The octal numbers are identical in meaning as those used with the chmod
command:
The first number is the user permissions, which hold for the user owning
the file. Second number defines the group permissions, which hold for
all members of the group owning the file. And the third the "world"
permissions, for everyone who isn't covered by the first two.

The number is an increment for the possible perms,
1 = make the the file execuatble
2 = write permissions
3 = 1 + 2 = executable + writeable
4 = read permissions.
5 = 1 + 4 = executable + read
6 = 2 + 4 = read + write
7 = 1 + 2 + 4 = executable + read + write

Now certain people belong to several groups. The shell doesn't know
which groups a file is intended to be in, therefor it uses the default
as found in the 4th field of the entry in /etc/passwd. Users can change
the group owning the file/directory with the chgrp command. The syntax
is "chgrp GROUP file" , and the user has to be a member of GROUP to
effect this change. This will always require manual override...

Hi, 

Anybody has experience setting up SMP linux for Redhat 7.0

with PromiseTechnology's FastTrack 100 driver?

My system failed to boot to SMP mode, UP was OK.  Any fix around

this problem?

Thanks,
JC
