Get directory permissions in unix like form

Hi! I've searched a lot for a solution to this but can find something. I want to see all the permissions that the user who is running an application has on certain directory. Some time ago I saw a simple application that gives that in a unix like form:
-dr-w-x owner file .....
I want something like that. I know that I can use canRead or canWrite, but there are a lot more permissiones involved, as for example the execute permissions, and... you may find a file (exists) , but that doesn't mean you can access it.
Hope someone out there knows how to do what I want, this is for solaris and/or windows XP (I know some windowses doesn't support the "owner" scheme)
Thanks a lot!

Windows doesn't (to my knowledge) have that level of granularity of permissions on a file level.
PS.

How do I get directory permissions to replicate downward?

I am trying to modify some directory permissions, but have noticed that the parent directories permissions do not by default replicate downward. How can I change this so that once the parent folder has been modified, it is reflected into the children directories

Do a Get Info (command - I) on the parent, unlock if required. set the permissions you want, then go to the gear and select to Apply to Enclosed items.
I type too slow.

File permissions $OH Unix and Windows

Hi,
I am examining an Oracle audit and now looking for all the default file/directory permissions on Unix and Windows. Have searched a lot of sites now but could not find a proper list with all the permissions mentiond. Does anybody knows where to find such a list (or script) to check if my current settings are ok?
I use OEM to check for my open security policies but this permission item is very hard to find unfortunately.
So please some info on this unix/windows permissions issue.
Thanks,
Paul
btw Have found some settings for bdump, udump, adump, $OH/rdbms/log and audit (umask 0177) but want to check those other permissions for the whoe installed Oracle software en admin directories.

Hi,
Picked a few alerts from EM, for example:
Allowed Logon Version
Default Passwords
Default Permanent Tablespace Set to a System Tablespace
Initialization Parameter File Permission
The last few weeks I have already disabled some of the policies but these are the alerts which are left now and I want to get rid of them.
When you click in EM on "Initialization Parameter File Permission" the description of it is: Ensures that access to the initialization paramater file is restricted to the owner of the Oracle software set and the DBA group.
So, ok thats is clear to me but I want to look at the whole server/database to make it a "clean" server/db.

GDM update: directory permissions differ on /var/log/gdm/

Hello,
Running Arch 64Bits kernel 3.9.9-1 with systemd and i got the following warning during a gdm update today:
(1/6) upgrading libgdm [######################] 100%
(2/6) upgrading gdm [######################] 100%
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/log/gdm/
filesystem: 711 package: 1770
Why would gdm need some 1770 permissions for log files? Looks pretty suspicious to me, especially the sticky bit thing. What did i miss?
PS: BTW the update is successful (it's a warning afterall, not an error)
Thanks

gdm is owned by gdm, so why would it needs 1770 permissions?
EDIT3:
After further research i appear the way gdm is installed may matter.
Well i installed gdm through pacman and always update it with pacman as well. Never manually compiled/make_install'd it nor used abs for it.

Repair Home Directory Permissions in Lion

I currently have my home directory on it's own physical disk (not in the default location on my OS drive).
When I try to "reset home directory permissions" against my user account in OS X Lion, nothing happens. When I do it for a user who has his home directory on the OS drive, everything works like a champ. The same thing happens under Snow Leopard as well, and I've been trying to track down a solution to this for a long time.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried setting the permissions, ACL's, extended atttributes, etc to the best of my ability using Unix commands, and I'm not really having any issues at the moment, but I'd like to be able to set everything back to the way it should be in my home directory.
Also, I don't have enough space on my OS drive to move my home directory back to the default location in order to do the reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bobby

If you go into System Preferences / Users, you can right click on your User account and choose advanced options. In there, you are able to point your users directory to any disk (or folder) on your machine. I chose to move my home directory to a separate drive in my Mac Pro to make rebuilds easier. Now if I want to reinstall my OS, I simply blow the existing OS away, format the OS disk, and once a fresh OS is installed, I just re-point my account to the existing drive where my home directory is, and all is cool. It's definitely a supported configuration by Apple, and many people do it. It's just aggravating that their "reset home directory permissions" routine doesn't like it.
My OS drive is a 128gb SSD, and my home directory sits on a 3tb HDD. From a performance and separation perspective it's perfect.

You can either use rsh or rexec (both available on windows). You will have to edit the .rhosts in the home directory of the unix user the script will be run under:

You can then execute the Shell-Script with

Snowman wrote:Submit a bug report.
This is one way and i hope it helps you and the other devs. But what do you think about that the systems can repair this by itselfs? On my opensuse server i have a tool named chkstat which runs as a cronjob and set the file permissions as loaded from a file.
Source: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distrib … 11.src.rpm
manpage: http://www.trinler.de/de/linux/man.html?command=chkstat
The advantage from my side is that one or a group of devs define the file permissions standard for arch linux and everyone can choose to use it or to append own more or less secure/paranoid settings. Another sideeffect is that every dev can take a look inside this config file to see what permission the own PKGBUILD need so that in the best case we will not see such messages in the future. The source includes config files so there is no need to restyle this all from zero.

[SOLVED] Need Help Understanding Warning on Directory Permissions

Hi guys-
In my last update I got these warnings:
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
filesystem: 700 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/
filesystem: 755 package: 770
I've seen quite a few threads floating around like these, but they just add to my confusion. I have not changed persmissions to these files. From what I've gathered so far from a few threads is that the package handler may have changed persmissions resulting in the warning messages. This is where my confusion sets in, and I don't know if it's from staring at the screen for too long, but if I cd into those directories and ls -l, there's the rules.d directory with 700:
/usr/share/polkit-1/:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 10:39 actions
drwx------ 2 polkitd root 4096 Jun 16 18:31 rules.d
However, if I cd into rules.d, there's two files in there, both with 644 permissions:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 281 Jun 1 02:17 50-libvirt.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 488 May 12 17:11 gnome-control-center.rules
Where's the file with 755?
Same thing with the other wanring. There's qemu with 755. Libvirt is 755. The directory inside qemu is empty. Where's 770?

Can someone help me understand this please?

The message does indeed mean that the package maintainer has changed the permissions on those directories. You can change your directories to match or leave them as-is. I always change mine when I get messages like this. To do that in this case, you'd run:
chmod 755 /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d
chmod 770 /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
That will make your directories consistent with the new versions of the packages.

I have microsoft 8.1 and Adobe 11.1.06 and I get a permissions error everytime I attempt to enter data into a form. How do I get rid of this annoying message?

Thanks for your questions.
1 Are these local or online documents?
Answer: Both they are IRS forms. I haven't tried other forms yet.
2. If online, in what browser?
Chrome does allow the fill-in with no errors. IE doe not even open the
form. The error message comes up when I have saved what I did and reopen for
additional editing.
3. What is the exact message you are getting?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Once I close the message I can enter data into the field. When I click the
next field or scroll the message returns. I checked the properties and I
am allowed to fill in form.
Again thanks for your response. I did discover that I could fill in form
online without the error popping up, but that means I must have all of my
info prepared so I can do it in one session.

If you have admin access in your account, then in Terminal, you can go to the file root with
cd / <enter>
and then go from there. (The single forward slash is the shorthand for the filesystem mount point.) You should be able to a number of things otherwise blocked by using the sudo command before the normal Unix command, as in, for instance,
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions <enter>
which is a command which changes the modification date to the current time on the Extensions folder. When using sudo, you will be asked for your password, and after successful authentication, the command will execute.

I'm pretty bad at this stuff, but isn't this rather 1361 than 1363, or am I totally wrong? And why not allow theowner to read the file?

Newly Created Sub-Directories Don't Have Parent Directory Permissions

Hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this.
Background:
Running 10.4.11 as a file server on a PPC G5 in a small creative office. We have a handful of users accessing via AFP. No other services are running.
I'm using Workgroup Manager as admin tool.
Top level directory has permissions set to Read & Write for Owner, Group & Everyone.
Issue:
When an authenticated user creates a new directory on the server, the new directory does not honor the parent directory permissions for all three user tiers.
Rather, in getting info, the owner is momentarily set to the user who created the directory with read & write, then switches to (unknown) with r&w. The group is momentarily correct and then switches to (unknown) despite the creating user being part of a specific group, and has Read only permissions.
Everyone has Read only permissions.
If a user attempts to fix permissions on a directory they just created, they are unable to do so.
So, throughout the course of the day, I am bombarded with "I don't have permissions...", wherein, i use remote access to hit Workgroup Manager and do a global propagation down of the parent directories permissions to allow access. Until someone else makes a directory
This can't possibly be right. Newly created directories should be set to the parent directory permissions, if i'm not mistaken.
Anyone? Any insight?
Michael B.

oh yes.. you are right... its accessible in
http:://rishtey.local/default_1.html
successfully... thanks for that... first of all
now issue is: when i access http://rishtey.local/test.php which contains just a tag to display php info only...
instead of rendering this php file, it just save the file in the download folder.
what could be the issue with it?
