HOWTO: Change umask, permissions, ownership etc. of a folder using bindfs

Posted 11-01-2011 at 04:43 PM by kribor

I find myself coming back to a situation where I want to be able to control who files should be created as (user or group) and which permissions the files should have in a specific folder.

For example I have a linux server with a shared music directory for people in the household that is shared using samba and depending on whether how clients connect the files/folders they create get a bunch of different permissions, groups etc..

Bash scripts and keyboard input

You can use Bash to read individual keypresses. Here is an example:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Reset terminal to current state when we exit.
trap "stty $(stty -g)" EXIT

# Disable echo and special characters, set input timeout to 0.2 seconds.
stty -echo -icanon time 2 || exit $?

KEYS=""

# Set field separator to BEL (should not occur in keypresses)

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/etc/systemd/system/flash-update.service

Code:

[Unit]

Okay, I've just got through another flamewar, so I decided to write a some info about answering questions without wasting too much time in the process. The content is based on personal experience, my own point of view, and isn't supposed to be absolute truth or something. I also don't expect someone to agree with me. Recommendations are written in random order, and are supposed to prevent wasting too much time typing replies, or breaking your keyboard too quickly.
Beware! Some people probably...
