argh HELP unix/linux people
 

Hey when I was rooted I moved a few files into a dir how do you make the dir accessable to reg users that are not root

chmod -R 755 /directory
get icq or something, cunt

why do people always use chmod with numbers, most people who do that don't even know what the numbers mean, or what base they are even in :)


chmod a+rwx means all can read write and execute
chmod a-rwx no one can read write and execute
chmod u+ (user)
chmod g+ (group)




so for you chmod a+r blah

Hmmmmm...

Depending on how your system's set up if you gotta write to the files you may need to change the owner too.

chown -R newowner filename

will do that.

Then again some of us do know what the numbers mean :thumbsup

Yup. I find the numbers easier, 'cause well.. that's how i learned.

mkfs /


Hahah.. finally I get to use that.

So which one do you find easier...

chmod u=rwx,go=rx file

or...

chmod 755 file ?

Learning what the numbers are, is so much easier.
