Hi,
A simple and silly question on Unix.
I have a directory named "a" and I would like to grant permission to group name "text" to access, read and execute my directory.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks. (2 Replies)
In our file system, the SGID for a directory is set right now. Any new files created in this directory will automatically be assigned the same group from the parent directory.
Is there a way to inherit the file permission from the parent directory as well? The OS is Solaris 2.8.

I need to find all the files that have group Read or Write permission or files that have user write permission.
This is what I have so far:
find . -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '/-...rw..w./ {print $1 " " $3 " " $4 " " $9}'
It shows me all files where group read = true, group write = true... (5 Replies)

All:
I'm having a problem with sudo on Solaris 5.10 that is giving me fits (and BTW, I'm a Linux admin by trade...).
The issue is that I have a number of users (myself included) that cannot sudo to root to complete user admin tasks. Assuming the user is jdoe, and the group with the elevated... (3 Replies)

I have a directory with the following permissions:

displays the group ID in capital "S" instead of lowercase "s"
tried to find this out on Google, but... (2 Replies)

getgrouplist
GETGROUPLIST(3) BSD Library Functions Manual GETGROUPLIST(3)NAME
getgrouplist, getgroupmembership, -- calculate group access list
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int
getgrouplist(const char *name, gid_t basegid, gid_t *groups, int *ngroups);
int
getgroupmembership(const char *name, gid_t basegid, gid_t *groups, int maxgrp, int *ngroups);
DESCRIPTION
The getgrouplist() and getgroupmembership() functions read through the group database and calculate the group access list for the user speci-
fied in name. The basegid is automatically included in the groups list. Typically this value is given as the group number from the password
database.
The resulting group list is returned in the integer array pointed to by groups.
For getgrouplist(), the caller specifies the size of the groups array in the integer pointed to by ngroups.
For getgroupmembership(), the caller specifies the size of the groups array in maxgrp.
The actual number of groups found is returned in ngroups.
Duplicate group ids will be suppressed from the result.
RETURN VALUES
The getgrouplist() and getgroupmembership() functions return 0 if successful, and return -1 if the size of the group list is too small to
hold all the user's groups. In the latter case, the groups array will be filled with as many groups as will fit and ngroups will contain the
total number of groups found.
FILES
/etc/group group membership list
SEE ALSO setgroups(2), initgroups(3), group(5)HISTORY
The getgrouplist() function first appeared in 4.4BSD. The getgroupmembership() function first appeared in NetBSD 3.0 to address an API defi-
ciency in getgrouplist().
BUGS
The getgrouplist() function uses the routines based on getgrent(3). If the invoking program uses any of these routines, the group structure
will be overwritten in the call to getgrouplist().
