Modifying default permissions? (Answered)

A little while back, I discovered a way for the system to automatically make the permissions of files I create 0640. I've changed my mind about that now (since a permissions problem gave me hell with sqlite all day), and I've forgotten what I can do to restore it to the default 0666. Any advice? I've checked /etc/profile and /etc/fstab for any clues, and found nothing. Nothing was mounted with a umask, since I can chmod said files to 0666 after creating them.
[Edit] Nevermind; My default was 644 after all.. Google says using 'umask' in .bash_profile will do the trick, though.

Run "umask 0022".  That give the default 644 permissions...

  • Default Permissions and Settings in Windows 7

    A Few qustions - 
    What is the default permissions in windows 7 for:
    1. c: - do authenticated users have special permissions by default?
    2. Desktop Icons
    And for remote assistance - max time invitation can be left open?
    Thanks - 

    Hi,
    1. Yes, the Authenticated Users have the special permission on the system root. What’s the goal you want to achieve? You may
    refer to the following similar thread to remove the Authenticated Users’ special permission on the system root.
    Reference:
    Authenticated Users have Create / Append permission on Root of C - can I remove them?
    2. What’s your meaning of “the default permission of Desktop Icons”? The permission to modify or delete the Desktop
    Icons? If so, please see the following similar thread:
    Permission
    to change / delete Desktop items
    3. By default, an invitation automatically expires after six hours. To cancel an invitation sooner than that, close the Windows Remote
    Assistance session that is waiting for an incoming connection.
    But you may also set the maximum invitation time.
    On the computer that you want someone to connect to, follow these steps:
    a)   
    Open System by clicking the
    Start button, clicking
    Control Panel, clicking
    System.
    b)   
    Click
    Remote settings and choose Remote tab.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c)   
    Select the
    Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer check box.
    d)   
    Click
    Advanced, and then, under Invitations, select the time from the two lists.

  • Default permissions?

    Is there a way to modify my system's default permissions? For example, when I create a new file/directory it will automatically have my preferred permissions. I've tinkered with umask, but haven't found it to work for me... am I missing something?

    Did you try setting your umask in th specific users .bashrc file. any changes you make here will be saved. Just entering the Umask command from the bash shell will change the permissions just for that session it will go back to default after you log out.  All you should have to use is a text editor and be in the users home that you wanna change and type nano  .bashrc (i use nano) or vi .bashrc etc...... then all you should have to type is the umask value. Im pretty sure that the umask is subtracted from the the current directory permissons a umask of 022 give us the 755 that is the default. so you would type "umask  022" then save and exit . Then test it
    hope this helps

  • Set default permissions for new files?

    We have a small LAN where different users often need to open and resave each others' files. No server, just a bunch of client computers on ethernet sharing an internet router.
    Each time a user creates a file, that file's permissions default to read only for anyone but that user. How can I set up the default permissions so that any newly-created files default to Read & Write for "groups" and "others".
    I anticipate I will have to make this change for each user on each workstation.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you want users to share files then have them place the file in the /Users/Shared/ folder. Files placed in that folder can be accessed by any user.

  • What should default permissions be of the Groups folder be?

    While trying to sort out our Group shared folders permissions problems I might have changed the permissions of the Group folder (/Volumes/Server/Groups) in Server Admin.
    Can anyone tell me what the default permissions for that folder should be?

    I had a similar problem:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5876784#5876784>
    and Gerrit came to the rescue! Wonder if you migrated from Tiger and if so then the above thread might have some answers for you. Seems like the standard Group ID (gid) changed from Tiger to Leopard and has wreaked havoc on file sharing. I was able to remedy my situation (so far - still not thoroughly tested) by changing the gid of all files back to 20...which matches "staff" on the clients. This is still confusing and Apple's documentation is half-baked regarding this as far as I'm concerned.

  • Default permissions issue

    I recently tried upgrading our server from 10.4 to 10.5 and we're having trouble with default permissions. We have a small mixed AFP/SMB workgroup and we want items created in sharepoints to be readable and writable by other members of the group. In 10.4 the setting under AFP for default permissions for new files and folders didn't seem to work (but I got round it by manually changing a umask setting). After we upgraded and were having probIems with restricted permissions, I looked for that setting in 10.5. The manual, under "Changing AFP Settings for a Share Point", says:
    *If you are using only POSIX permissions, choose a method for assigning default access*
    *privileges for new files and folders in the share point:*
    *To have new items use default POSIX permissions, select “Use standard POSIX*
    behavior.”
    *To have new items adopt the privileges of the enclosing item, select “Inherit*
    *permissions from parent.”*
    However the setting does not seem to be there in Server Admin. I thought maybe it was because ACLs were enabled, so I followed the procedure described in the manual for disabling them, but after restart, they were still enabled, and still no AFP default permissions setting. Again, the manual says
    *You can unnecessarily complicate file access management if you’re not careful. Keep it*
    *simple. If standard POSIX permissions do the job, use those, but if you must use ACLs,*
    *avoid customizing permissions unless you need to.*
    But it seems I am being forced into using ACLs to do something which surely should be straighforward. Or am I missing something?

    Okay, I think I got where I wanted to get to using ACLs, but it would have been nice if the manual hadn't been a little misleading...

  • [Device Auto-mounting] HAL,KDE4.4 and default permissions

    Hello,
    I have a small problem with default permissions of Automounted
    Removable Devices. Whenever I mount it via KDE4.4's Auto-mounter. it
    sets all files to be owned by root.
    > ls -la /media/Backup/
    total 28
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 11 14:46 .
    drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 11 14:44 ..

    drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Feb 10 16:07 lost+found
    I know KDE does not mount anything, it asks HAL. nothing is in
    /etc/fstab but in /etc/mtab and in /proc/mount I got
    $ cat /etc/mtab
    /dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal 0 0
    $ cat /proc/mounts
    /dev/sdb1 /media/Backup ext4
    rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
    I like all my files and folders to be owner by me and NOT by root.
    any help?

    Are you using [testing]? Partially updated system?
    The error looks like you have a different version of gcc-libs / glibc than the app was built against.

  • Modify default installation path of WindowsApps

    Modify default installation path of WindowsApps        
    First explain, I am a Chinese Windows user, my English fighting is only 5(very poor).Then I will try to use some simple English to tell you my problem.
    I use the method used in windows8 to modify default installation path of WindowsApps,but defeated.
    Why I want to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
    Because when I installed software that is suitable for the traditional model, my C disc had only 10GB space.
    I think Win8.1 is perfect.And I like the traditional mode and Metro interface.(I heard Win9 can’t use two modes at the same time,but I think simultaneous use of two modes the operation is very nice.)
    The method used in windows8:
    First,Enter WinPE,create a file that is the mirror image of WindowsApps in D disc.
    Then,Enter Win8.1,make User get thechanges to the “Appx” folder under theregistry.
    Last,Amended registry master key of “packageRoot”as “D:/WindowsApps”
    This operation can be completed in Win8,but default in Win8.1.
    So,could you tell me how to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
    If it’s impossible ,I hope Microsoft team could solve it.

    In my opinion it's a bad idea to change this, as most software is set to install on drive C: and not all of it may be using the proper CSIDL system calls to get the locations. 
    You can be sure the majority of testing is done with applications installing in the system default location on C:.
    A much better idea is to save a few Yuan and buy a much larger SSD for the system drive, then use the default drive C: locations for the operating system and installed programs.

  • NFS Default Permissions

    I was looking into a problem we're having using an NFS shared volume for several users.
    I want to find a way to change the default permissions when we leave files on this mounted volume so that files we leave (or create) on the volume default to having group r/w permission. As it is, the default is for the group to be read-only.
    I found a separate archived thread on this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1625782
    There it was suggested that changing the global umask setting would change all default behaviors to read & write for group:
    defaults write -g NSUmask 2
    This does seem to change the new file defaults for all files written on one's hard drive, but that didn't seem to fix everything.
    - If the file is already group "read-only" then it stays that way when copied to the NFS volume
    - If the file is already group "read & write" then it stays that way when copied [good]
    - If you create a new folder
    - If you create a new folder either locally or on the remote volume USING THE FINDER GUI, then it's read-only.
    - If you create a new folder either locally or on the remote volume USING THE COMMAND LINE, then it's "read & write" [good]
    So the question I have, should anyone have any deep insights into permissions are:
    1) Can you change the default folder permissions created through the Finder GUI?
    2) Is there any way to make copied files default to new permissions, or will they always retain their base permissions.
    It's obviously much easier for several people using the same folder to have compatible permissions use than to have to remember to manually change them every time a file/folder is copied/created!

    "1) Can you change the default folder permissions created through the Finder GUI?"
    Hmm, the answer should be "yes", but it also shouldn't be necessary - the "Finder" by default would be expected to use the 'NSUmask' value set in the NSGlobal domain so it is odd that in your case, "If you create a new folder either locally or on the remote volume USING THE FINDER GUI, then it's read-only." But anyway, to independently set the 'umask' for "Finder", try:<pre>defaults write com.apple.finder umask 2</pre>This setting (and it is 'umask', not 'NSUmask' in this case) takes effect after the "Finder" is restarted and does not require a logout.
    "2) Is there any way to make copied files default to new permissions, or will they always retain their base permissions."
    This one, I don't know. I could have swore that in early versions of "Panther" that copied items were considered "new" and the global umask value applied, but the behaviour had changed by later versions to preserve permissions, and it looks like 10.4 behaves the same way.
    I don't know anything about NFS - does it have any sort of "inherit permissions" setting like AFP? AFP shares can be configured so that copied items will inherit the permissions (and or ownership) of the parent folder... actually it seems to follow some strange rules so that in practice, both options often need to be set, but that's beside the point. It might be worth looking into to see if something like that is available...

  • Default permissions on /usr/share/ and its subdirectories?

    I think I've goofed up my permissions on /usr/share and its subdirectories? Can someone tell me the default permissions, please?
    Also, is there a place in the docs where default permissions on various directories are listed?
    Thanks.

    (Pretty much) all directories are 755 and files are 644.

  • Default permissions on /Library folder?

    I'm having a permissions problem here. I'm trying to reinstall a couple of games from Gamehouse and when they first run they (apparently) need to write a file to the /Library/Application_support folder. Now they all generate an error saying I need to be an admin user (I am) or repair permissions (I have several times, including booting from the 10.5 dvd and running repair from that).
    I checked the settings and on TWO different macs both with a recent format/install of 10.5 the permissions are as follows:
    /Library
    system (r/w), admin (r/w), everyone (r only)
    /Library/Application Support
    system (r/w), admin (r only), everyone (r only)
    ALL of the folders inside the main Library folder are set with the admin user being read only.
    On a Tiger machine here, all of the folders in the main Library folder are set with admin user being read/write.
    So... has the default permissions changed in 10.5 or do I somehow have an exactly the same wierd issue on 2 different macs?
    Thanks if anyone can shed light on this.

    after running DU, the permissions on /Library/Application Support are still:
    system r/w, admin r-only, everyone r-only
    Is this what they are supposed to be? If so, it creates a problem for some installers apparently. If not, I need to find out what changed them incorrectly on mine and fix it. Again, on a Tiger system the admin user has r/w privs on the app support folder... on Leopard its read-only.

  • Does the Adobe Reader installer modify folder permissions at install time?

    From the behavior I have observed, it does; however I would like to confirm this with someone. If so, is there a specific reason this is being done and what proccess is being used, for example does the installer remove all permissions from the folder then add permissions or does it remove only the users that are not needed then add new ones? Also there are two custom actions in the MSI that I am curious about, LockFilePermissions and LockRegPermissions. It appears these are the actions that are removing the default permissions. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is needed?

    Anyone?
