security-access permissions
 

hello every one

will any one plz tell me how to change the permissions of a normal user

bye

FPFPFP! :D

Of what permissions do you speak?
If you speak on file access permisions than you should check /etc/groups
and reffer to man page on chmod, chown commands.

Cheers :)

hi
actually i mounted fat32 drive in linux and while accessing the drive as a normal user im unable to modify the contents of the driver is there any way to do that (I'm able to read but not write in to the drive)

Did you check the /etc/fstab file has an user rw option set for the FAT32 partition.
Be sure to check that a user has rw permissoins on the target mount directory (eg. /mnt/fat).

Cheers!

this is my /etc/fstab content

________________________________________________________________
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home/arjun/windows auto defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
_____________________________________________________________

where to modify

Lets assume that this entry specifies your FTA32 drive
If it is so indeed than you should be setting filesystem to vfat and the main thing -
change defaults to user,rw,noauto:

For more info look here . :)

As the mount piont resides within your home directory I assume it has full acces priviliges for user arjun.

Thanx for ur help it solved my problem

bye
