777 = everybody can execute and alter everything. That is for sure not what you want. However, it would go as follows (escaping like bash):
Better do the following (everybody can read, only owner can alter or execute):
If some cgi needs to write to some location beneath htdocs change ownership of those files/directories to the user used by your webserver to run cgis (normally apache, httpd oder nobody).

Put that into command line - it will display help about chmod command. Use "man find" to find out what above does in detail.
Hi,
I am setting up an area on a unix server where multiple people will be editing web pages. Can anyone tell me how to set it up the directory and subdirectories so that when a user creates a new file, it defaults to permissions of 664 or 775?
I've tried using umask but from what I can... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a system (in Java) where a user can register to become a member of a website.
When they register, a collection of directories and files get created by the application.
For example if a user with the name 'fred' registered they would get the following
drwxr-xr-x... (0 Replies)

I'm trying to setup a directory structure for my staff which enables them full access to files in the directories with their name, and have access to anything in the shared directory. The directory structure looks like this:

What would be a practical way of making sure files I upload to/edit in a particular directory on a server always have the correct group permissions?
I'm forgetful, so I try to automate things like chgrp'ing the files when I'm done. I could write a script to be run by cron. Is that the only way,... (2 Replies)

I've got a number of people sending files to me in different directory structures, and users on many different groups who need access to these incoming paths.
My problem is that umask assumes a default of 666 for files. No execute bit, meaning that my users can't even see the incoming folders.... (2 Replies)
Trying to figure out the best method of security for oracle user accounts. In Solaris 10 they are set as regular users but have nologin set forcing the dev's to login as themselves and then su to the oracle users.
In Solaris11 we have the option of making it a role because RBAC is enabled but... (1 Reply)
I'm working in a linux server where wrappers are executed by multiple users of different groups. The log and output files are created with 554 permissions by default. This is stopping other users to run the wrappers unless the log and output files are deleted or given 777 permission. Setting SUID... (1 Reply)

mkproto
mkproto(8) System Manager's Manual mkproto(8)NAME
mkproto - Constructs a prototype file system
SYNOPSIS
mkproto special proto
DESCRIPTION
The mkproto command is used to bootstrap a new file system. First a new file system is created using newfs. mkproto is then used to copy
files from the old file system into the new file system according to the directions found in the prototype file proto. The prototype file
contains tokens separated by spaces or newlines. The first tokens comprise the specification for the root directory. File specifications
consist of tokens, giving the mode, the user ID, the group ID, and the initial contents of the file. The syntax of the contents field
depends on the mode.
The mode token for a file is a 6-character string. The first character specifies the type of the file. (The characters -bcd specify regu-
lar, block-special, character-special, and directory files, respectively.) The second character of the type is either a u or a - (dash) to
specify setuid mode or not. The third character is either a g or a - (dash) for the setgid mode. The rest of the mode is a 3-digit octal
number, giving the owner, group, and other read, write, execute permissions. (See the chmod(1) command for more information.)
Two decimal number tokens come after the mode; they specify the user and group IDs of the owner of the file: If the file is a regular file,
the next token is a pathname from which the contents and size are copied. If the file is a block-special or a character-special file, two
decimal number tokens follow, giving the major and minor device numbers. If the file is a directory, mkproto makes the entries . (dot) and
.. (dot dot) and then reads a list of names and (recursively) file specifications for the entries in the directory. The scan is terminated
with the token $.
The following listing shows a sample prototype specification. d--777 3 1 usr d--777 3 1 sh ---755 3 1 /bin/sh ken d--755 6 1
