Permissions on directories and files
Hello,
I have a main directory called /test123
/test123 has lot of sub-directories and files.
drwxr-x--- 21 root system 4096 Jan 25 10:20 /test123
Here, "other" does not have any access to /test123 folder.
How can we provide read-only access to others on /test123 content ?
I understand that all directories and sub-directories need "x" permission as well
If I run chmod -R o+r /test123, directories wont get "x" permission.
I want to get read and execute on directories/sub-directories and Read only on files for others. please explain.

st_snapshot
ST_SNAPSHOT(1) systraq ST_SNAPSHOT(1)
NAME
st_snapshot - calculate checksum and stat ownership and permissions of files
SYNOPSIS
ST_SUM=sha256sum st_snapshot patterns homepatterns
DESCRIPTION
st_snapshot calculates checksums and stats ownership and permissions of critical system files.
This script is typically run in either root-mode or public-mode. Running this script in root-mode requires root priviliges. One is
adviced to set up a dedicated user account for running this script in public mode.
In root-mode, the files snapshot_root.list and snapshot_root.homelist are typically passed as arguments. These pattern files are read by
the script and contain names of files and directories; listing a directory in such a pattern file is equivalent to listing all files which
live in the directorytree with this directory as root.
snapshot_root.list could e.g. read
# snapshot_root.list - files and directories we wanna get
# monitored: we wanna get a note once these files, or any file
# under these directories, gets created, gets rm-ed, gets
# permissions or contents changed. these notices will not
# include the possibly secret contents of these files
#
# this file gets read by st_systraq
/etc/group
/etc/gshadow
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/hosts.equiv
/etc/lilo.conf
/etc/passwd
/etc/postfix/server.pem
/etc/shadow
/etc/skel
/etc/ssh
Equivalent files snapshot_pub.list and snapshot_pub.homelist should be on the system. These files should contain all worldreadable to be
monitored files. This allows for running this script as root only in those cases where it's needed: when reading files, readable for root
only.
The homelist files contain files and directories which should get monitored for every homedirectory on the system. snapshot_pub.homelist
could e.g. contain:
.profile
.cshrc
.tcshrc
.login
.logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.exrc
.nexrc
As a special case, when the environment variable ST_OPHOMES is set to a non-empty string (typically when running in public mode), we stat
the permissions on all homedirectories themselves.
The produced snapshot is printed to stdout. The output when running in public mode could look like:
# ownership and permissions of homedirs
drwxr-xr-x root root /bin
drwxr-xr-x root root /dev
drwxr-sr-x root staff /home
drwxr-sr-x joostvb joostvb /home/joostvb
drwxr-xr-x root root /usr/sbin
drwxr-xr-x root root /var
# sha256sum of critical pub files

# ownership and permissions of critical pub files
-rw-rw-r-- joostvb joostvb /home/joostvb/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- joostvb joostvb /home/joostvb/.ssh/authorized_keys
ENVIRONMENT
ST_OPHOMES - non-empty in case permissions on all homedirectories should be printed
ST_SUM - command for calculating file checksums. E.g. sha256sum, sha512sum, sha384sum, sha224sum or sha1sum.
