Hello :-) According to my reading of the rsyncd.conf man page, "incoming chmod" accepts comma-separated "chmod" strings as defined by the chmod(1) man page optionally prefixed by D or F to make them apply to directories or files. The local chmod(1) man page does not mention strings. It refers to modes which may be symbolic or octal/numeric. Accordingly I tri...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Recent versions of rsync have a "regression test" called "chmod-option" that when run fails, this should be causing rsync to be rejected as broken by all distros and sysadmins. A bit of research show that no one has mentioned this test since it was last worked on in late September, nor does it show up as a current bug anywhere. The slightly amusing rea...

...le to set the u-g-o bits in a Rsync ? What I want to do is synce files from one machine to another (public web machine) so that all the files are READ-ONLY and, of course, the sub folders READ+EXECUTE-ONLY. Can't find any command line options or rsync.conf settings. Would be nice to have a --chmod-file=xxxx and a --chmod-folder=xxxx option, and with the same type of function in the conf file. Leigh

Hi, There are 3 lld tests[1] that run the command `chmod 400` or `chmod u-w` and then check that lld generates a permission denied error when trying to write to the files. These tests fail when run as root, because `chmod 400` is not enough to prevent root from writing to files. Is there some other way we can tests this, or should we just not support run...

I want to change the permissions on directories, recursively to: drwxr-xr-x but keep the files within the directory tree as: -rw-r--r-- But I can't find an option for chmod to only affect directories. I suppose it won't hurt (in this case) to set the x for the files, but I want some consistancy.

...POSIX ACLs on ext3 to let the devs do their thing and make sure that apache and mongrel have r, rx, and rwx where they need to for their applications without playing a bunch of owner/group games for the files. This is working out well, and I can happily tell the devs to ignore any and all chmod recommendations littered throughout the web references to capistrano, because they are completely unnecessary well, until capistrano itself does a chmod. Buried in .../gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/scm/base.rb is this: def logging_commands(directory = nil) log = &q...

...getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to change the default chmod value? Last time I asked about this, people told me to check out the skel directory, but the only thing you can do in there is to change the default chmod value of the files/directories _in_ the homedir, not the chmod values of the actual...

Is it possible to set the permissions on the destination side? As I understand it, --chmod just pretends certain permissions are coming from the sending side. I'd like to be able to set permissions to readonly in the destination while coming from a --copy/link-dest which may more may not have had it's permissions changed.

Which is the Kernel API (Xenbus API) that is available to do a similar action as "xenstore-chmod"?? Thx, Venkat _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

..." in their filenames. I'm trying to adjust the permissions as well as user and group membership and i'd like the changes to be sticky. On the tld i've set permissions of 2755 and am trying to batch convert the files and subfolders in it. I've done this: find tld -type f |xargs chmod 644 {} \; find tld -type d |xargs chmod 755 {} \; Both of these are failing due to the spaces and dashes. I've tried enclosing those {} in quotes, no good. Has anyone done this with shell or perhaps perl? Thanks. Dave.

...to the apache user and group. To give you an example, let's say I have a static website under /var/www/myserver on a CentOS server running Apache. Then I would configure permissions for the web content like this: # chown -R apache:apache /var/www/myserver # find /var/www/myserver -type d -exec chmod 0750 {} \; # find /var/www/myserver -type f -exec chmod 0640 {} \; Some time ago a fellow sysadmin (Remi Collet on the fr.centos.org forum) pointed out that this is malpractice in terms of security, and that the stuff under /var/www should *not* be owned by the user/group running the webserver.

I read this (http://www.petur.eu/blog/?p=459) blog post today. It's about that a remote user with root privilegs to a FreeBSD jail & user privileges to the jails host machine can obtain root privileges on the host machine. Can someone confirm if this bugg/exploit works?
