Settign permissions on folders
I need to give user "aaron" permission to run a program in /usr/steam/hlds_l/
i want to give myslef (aaron) permission to the folder "hlds_l" i log in as root and try but dont have a clue.... |
Won't work like that.
You'll have to add a special group, i.e. hld. (groupadd hld) make that group the owner of the directory and its contents (chgrp -R hld /usr/steam/hlds_l/ ) and make yourself member of the group (usermod aaron -g <whatever group> -G hld,<other groups>) ... Cheers, Tink |
thanks i'll try that tonight and see what happens!
why shouldnt i run things as "root" -Aaron |

functionality. Because an exploit in any given application that you run as root would give an attacker your entire system. Do a search on the forum, that topic has been discussed to death ;) Cheers, Tink |
