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
Quote:
change defaults to user,rw,noauto: Code:
/dev/hda6 /home/arjun/windows vfat user,rw,noauto 0 0 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 |
Your thread is moved to Linux-Newbie, where it fits much better, because it's a Linux-technical one.
