I cannot figure this out... I would like to change the owner of a bunch of folders whose name begins with a dash... # chown Administrator \-BILLED\ JOBS\ -\ 1997-2002 -R chown: invalid option -- B Try `chown --help' for more information. # chown Administrator "\-BILLED\ JOBS\ -\ 1997-2002" -R chown: cannot access `\\-BILLED\\ JOBS\\ -\\ 1997-2002': No such file or directory # chown Administrator &quo...

Basically, what I typed was: chown -R user2:user2 * chown -R user2:user2 .* chown -R user2:user2 *.* ...all in /home. Duh. I forgot which way recursive went. So, I then did: chown -R root:root * chown -R root:root .* chown -R root:root *.* ...this time in / to try and f things. Duh again. Other items need to have other owners &...

..., but it is probably because this is such a bad idea > that it has been made not to work, or even more likely, no one ever > thought about doing this (because it is a bad idea), so there is no > code in Samba to do this. But it seems that it took more work to prevent guest from performing chown than to allow it. As a Samba pseudo user guest is directly mapped to nobody on the server and as nobody is able to chown directly on the server there must be an additional code somewhere that intentionally forbid guest to chown. -- <wempwer at gmail.com>

Is this working as designed or a samba bug? I am trying to chown ownership of a file in a samba share and it results in an error. cifstest6:~ # smbclient //cifstest8/smb8 -U root Enter root's password: Domain=[CIFSTEST8] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0-GIT-e6a5f11-devel] smb: \> chown 65534 65534 file2 NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED chown file \file2 uid=65534, g...

...p a number of photos from the Linux to the Samba share mountpoint but rsync said that chgrp failed when it tried to change group ownership to `users', my user's primary group. I run smbd as nobody user on OpenWRT, I added it to `users' group and can do the following on the router: /tmp/chown-test $ id uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=100(users),65534(nogroup) /tmp/chown-test $ touch FILE /tmp/chown-test $ ls -l FILE -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nogroup 0 May 25 11:51 FILE /tmp/chown-test $ chown nobody:users FILE /tmp/chown-test $ ls -l FILE -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody use...

Hello, I need a way to set permissions to share folder without to use RSAT, I've not found anything about that. The samba wiki said that --------------------- Change permissions on folders of a share Changes of permissions are done using the classic *nix tools 'chmod', 'chown' and 'chgrp'. Example: Code: # mkdir /srv/samba/Demo/Example/ # chown foobar:DemoGroup /srv/samba/Demo/Example/ # chmod 2770 /srv/samba/Demo/Example/ ------------------- I created a group DemoGroup with "samba-tool group add DemoGroup" Then, when I did Code: chown fooba...

About a year ago I outlined a scheme for arranging chowning of the tty end of ptys without needing root privileges. Since then, I haven''t had time to actually implement it. I was thinking about the problem again today, and, having learned a bit about sessions and controlling ttys and stuff, was able to come up with a simpler mechanism. First,...

Hi, Is it normal that "chown $user $file" and "chown :$group $file" destroy the Windows-ACLs? Is it normal that changing the file owner in Windows does not change the file owner in Linux, but changing the file owner in Linux does change the file owner in Windows? This should be mentioned in > https://wik...

I just noticed that on centso 4.5 I have an executable with the +s (chmod +s myexe) doing a chmod root myexe and chown root myexe does NOT affect the +s setting. However, on centos 5 this is not the case. chmod +s myexe chown root myexe or chgrp root myexe will DROP the +s status. How can I get around this? I want to keep the owner, group, world settings. Thanks, Jerry

The man page describes options --chown, --usermap, and --groupmap, but these seem to be silently ignored beyond validating that the user and groups do indeed exist. Is the following supposed to work? $ touch a $ rsync --chown=http:http a b $ ls -l a b -rw-r--r-- 1 jed jed 0 Oct 14 02:44 a -rw-r--r-- 1 jed jed 0 Oct 14 02:45 b $ chown...

Hi, I've already discussed this issue in SSHSCI's SSH 2.2 context on ssh at clinet.fi list. My standpoint is that it's wrong and meaningless to perform chown in sftp-server as the file is most likely copied between systems with distinct accounting system where user is not necessarily (and even unlikely) has same numeric user id. The original bug report was that user couldn't access files transfered from Windows machine and it turned that Windows cli...

Hi everyone, I want to set ACL's on some directories for AD users with chown command, but it doesn't work. wbinfo -u is ok and return all users. i.e : DOMAIN\administrator DOMAIN\user ... if I try :      #chown -R "DOMAIN\user" /my_dir I obtain this :     chown: incorrect user : "DOMAIN\\user" chown systematically "adds" a backslash...
