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 #

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 & groups. So, how can I fix this? In MacOSX, there is a utility

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, gid=65534 The share is thus

I run Samba server on my OpenWRT router. I normally access the share as guest from my Linux box. Here's the relevant line from my /etc/fstab: //192.168.1.1/T_Drive /mnt/r cifs guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000 0 0 Recently I harnessed rsync to backup a number of photos from the Linux to the Samba share mountpoint but rsync said that chgrp failed when it tried to change group

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

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, obs...

I added this to the 10-master imap-login, pop3-login and submission-login, but keep this message Doveconf still lists imap-urlauth-login with chroot = token-login, also when changing this one to chroot = the error persists.

Hello everyone - Update: Many thanks to Matt Miller for the tip on usermod options. That worked very well! I did not know those options existed and would never have thought to look for them. After making and testing backups, I started with my main workstation. Rebooted in runmode=3, then ran the usermod -u and -g options. I did this in two runs. I first had to uninstall docker since it

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 >

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 http:http b chown: changing ownership of 'b':

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

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, but I don't
