Trying to setup user to have the ability to delete any files (regardless of owner) in /tmp.
I've tried almost everything... the permission on the folder is drwxrwxrwt 10 bin bin, and at one point I give all the possible permission (short of root) I can give to the user, and he still can't delete... (2 Replies)
User usrA creates dirA directory and runs chmod 777 on the directory. Can usrB issue another 777 on dirA? It appears the answer is no even if the usrA and usrB are part of the same group. I know this is a rare scenario but I just ran across it and found out that usrB receives an error when... (4 Replies)

chmod cannot be used in my case. (Files are created and executed the programs owned by different vendors)

Hi Guys,
I want to know is there any method to create a file having 777 permission. I am aware of umask, since it is only giving max. 666 permission for files this is not fulfilling my needs.
Thanks in advance

First post here. I just started learning UNIX a few weeks ago.
My issue: I use FreeNAS which is based off of UNIX in my network environment which hosts files that my team needs to access. Each user has their own login but we are all part of a group called "ITLIC".

chmod
CHMOD(1) General Commands Manual CHMOD(1)NAME
chmod - change mode
SYNOPSIS
chmod mode file ...
DESCRIPTION
The mode of each named file is changed according to mode, which may be absolute or symbolic. An absolute mode is an octal number con-
structed from the OR of the following modes:
4000 set user ID on execution
2000 set group ID on execution
1000 sticky bit, see chmod(2)
0400 read by owner
0200 write by owner
0100 execute (search in directory) by owner
0070 read, write, execute (search) by group
0007 read, write, execute (search) by others
A symbolic mode has the form:
[who] op permission [op permission] ...
The who part is a combination of the letters u (for user's permissions), g (group) and o (other). The letter a stands for ugo. If who is
omitted, the default is a but the setting of the file creation mask (see umask(2)) is taken into account.
Op can be + to add permission to the file's mode, - to take away permission and = to assign permission absolutely (all other bits will be
reset).
Permission is any combination of the letters r (read), w (write), x (execute), s (set owner or group id) and t (save text - sticky). Let-
ters u, g or o indicate that permission is to be taken from the current mode. Omitting permission is only useful with = to take away all
permissions.
The first example denies write permission to others, the second makes a file executable:
chmod o-w file
chmod +x file
Multiple symbolic modes separated by commas may be given. Operations are performed in the order specified. The letter s is only useful
with u or g.
Only the owner of a file (or the super-user) may change its mode.
