Sticky bit and chattr

I want to protect my folders in $HOME from an accidental deletion. I applied chattr +i on them but i noticed that the last is applied recursively, thus, indeed the folder can't be deleted but also i can't write in it.
I also tried to apply a sticky bit with chmod 1775 and change the ownership of the folder with chown root foldername. Normally, with sticky bit enabled, only the owner of the folder can delete it but, strangely, in my case although the folder is owned by root, i can delete it with my normal user.
I noticed that the users folders in /home partition, although they are owned by the current user and have rwx permissions for the owner, they can't be deleted/changed. How is this achieved?

It would require sticky bit to be set to every subfolder in /home. sticky bit isn't applied recursively by default. If you're worried about deleting your own files by accident it seems to me a better solution would be a daily incremental backup using something like rdiff-backup.

  • Sticky Bit - Problem...

    Hello,
    I have one thing to ask, to clarify... Some weeks ago after a system migration from win/sql to linux/oracle (and after an oracle upgrade from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1), we faced an error during DB13, the job Scheduled Update Statistics finished with an error! After some research, we found the solution... the reason was the version of oracle instant client that was the version 10.2.0.2 (the first version of this OIC)!
    So after I performed the update of oracle instant client (OIC) to version 10.2.0.4 (V3) the error finally disappeared... and it was the solution, which in that moment I thought it had been responsible for this correction!... but now I'm not so sure! Why?! Because the same problem appear again on another system, I performed the same solution, I updated the oracle instant client to version 10.2.0.4 v3 but unfortunately the problem still continue appear! So what I concluded, was that is not the solution, I realized this is not only because of the old OIC version that is installed in our system... there is other problem which is related to permissions!
    Later I discovered that the STICKY BIT (?) had been applied before I have upgraded the oracle instant client... and in fact in this new system, after the solution of oracle client update the error still continued appear and in fact only after the application of sticky bit in this system the error definitely no longer appear!
    So my question is what is this?... what is Sticky Bit?
    I looked in SAP Marketplace if there were any related sapnotes to sticky bit but I didn´t found anything... this is some mandatory procedure?... if so, sap recommends the application of this where? in which situations?
    I don´t know exactly what is STICKY bit and what he do... but the truth is that from the moment I applied it, with command ./saproot.sh (with root) on /sapmnt/SID/exe, we resolve the other part of this problem... I tried to search sapnotes in SAP marketplace about this sticky bit but I didn´t find anything... Can you explain me better if sap advice to apply this sticky bit... and if it can origin any problem or if there are any conflict with other things when we applied it on system!??
    Kind regards,
    Joao Dimas - Portugal

    Now I think I understand the meaning and what is its functionality... but explain me another thing, the application of sticky bit with ./saproot.sh <SAPSID> changed other four files: brarchive; brbackup; brconnect and icmbnd  (this five files now have a red colour)...
    Yes, and they have an "s" instead of an "x" if you use ls -l.
    The same thing is true for those files. The br*tools must be run as the user running/owning the database software (oraadm during startsap.
    So, if this is so important to run (because if I didn´t ran this command the job throught DB13 can not runs) why there isn´t sap notes or sap documentation, discussing this issue and the need to apply the sticky bit to fix this problem?
    It's documented - but hidden:

  • Sticky bit, ACL, POSIX

    Hi All,
    After one day googling and testing (Snow Leopard Server 10.6.6) I didn't find any solution to what I thought to be a basic permission schema;
    I need to set up just one share with read and write permissions for the group and delete permission for the owner; what I get is very close, but needs fine-tuning;
    For example, user1 and user2 (belonging to group1) are able to create and delete their own files (and folders) in the share1, but user1 can't write in user2 folders and viceversa, and that's exactly what I miss;
    I've spent a lot of time messing around with POSIX, ACL, sticky bit and a mix of them, but what I get is always more (users can delete each others' files) or less (they can't create files in each other's folders) than what I wanted…
    users are in OD but the clients are just standard mac with local administrator accounts
    Any assistance would be appreciated

    First off you can't do this with POSIX permissions because both create a file and delete a file rely on the same permission (write permission on the directory), therefore if you're allowing someone to create a file you're allowing them to delete it, too.
    You should be able to get there with ACLs, though.
    Given the directory /path try:
    chmod +a "group:staff allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextat tr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path
    chmod +ai "group:staff allow file_inherit" /path
    chmod +ai "group:staff allow add_file,add_subdirectory" /path
    chmod +a "user:user1 allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directory_i nherit"/path
    These will allow any user in the staff group to create files and subdirectories in /path, and give user user1 the additional ability to delete files. The tricky part lies in getting the inheritence correct (the +ai switches) so that subdirectories inherit the permissions of the parent (which is what allows user1 to delete files in a subdirectory created/owned by a different user.

  • UIS GID and sticky bit problem

    Not sure the best place to post this, could not find a forum that really matched what I am asking.
    My Chronosync is having problems with not being able to backup certain files. (cover.jpg)
    I seem to have traced it to files with what I think is a Sticky bit....but I thought a file with a sticky bit was shown with a t as in:
    -rwxrwxrwxt
    but the problem files are shown :
    -rwxrwxrwx@
    It is a file that I have moved from one user to another via the Drop box...so i know that causes issues with UID GID and Sticky bits etc
    How in terminal do i correct the file permissions to:
    -rwxrwxrwx
    OK I could just re download the file or copy it from the other user another way...but I am still interested in this "@" attached to the permission string and how to change it.
    have tried various combinations of chown and chmod but cant get any change...
    I have seen some references to it being a indicator to the OS that it is a file downloaded from the internet...but how to remove this ?

    I already gave you the Unix command to tell you what the @ indicates
    ls -aleO@ # lowercase l, lowercase e, capital O, and at sign
    Why not use it?
    I also suggested what each extended attribute might be, but without output from the above ls -leO@ I can only guess.
    Here are the relevant parts of "man ls"
    -a Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (.).
    -l (The lowercase letter ``ell''.) List in long format. (See
    below.) If the output is to a terminal, a total sum for all the
    file sizes is output on a line before the long listing.
    -e Print the Access Control List (ACL) associated with the file, if
    present. Also see "man chmod".
    -O Include the file flags in a long (-l) output.
    Also see "man chflags".
    -@ Display extended attribute keys and sizes.
    There is no man page for extended attributes, however, there is a minimal amount of usage information built into the command:
    xattr --help
    usage: xattr [-l] file [file ...]
    xattr -p [-l] attr_name file [file ...]
    xattr -w attr_name attr_value file [file ...]
    xattr -d attr_name file [file ...]
    The first form lists the names of all xattrs on the given file(s).
    The second form (-p) prints the value of the xattr attr_name.
    The third form (-w) sets the value of the xattr attr_name to attr_value.
    The fourth form (-d) deletes the xattr attr_name.
    options:
    -h: print this help
    -l: print long format (attr_name: attr_value)

  • Setting the sticky bit on a file fails in a zone

    On initial inspection, the sticky bit on directories seem to be consistent across both the Global zone and local zone. However, they are inconsistent for files. Is this a bug, and if it is how to I raise a defect report?
    Excerpt from chmod man page:
    If a regular file is not executable and has {stick bit} set, the file is assumed to be a swap file. In this case, the system's page cache will not be used to hold the file's data. If the {stick bit} bit is set on any other file, the results are unspecified.
    Solaris 10 update 4 (Global Zone).
    # uname -a
    SunOS mumble.amtest.com 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T1000
    # chmod 1777 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    -rwxrwxrwt 1 root other 0 Jul 11 14:24 testfile
    # chmod 1770 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    -rwxrwx--T 1 root other 0 Jul 11 14:24 testfile
    # chmod 1000 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    ---------T 1 root other 0 Jul 11 14:24 testfile
    Solaris 10 update 4 (Local Zone)
    # uname -a
    SunOS qatamos-z1 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T1000
    # chmod 1777 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root other 10 Jul 10 14:59 testfile
    # chmod 1770 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    -rwxrwx--- 1 root other 10 Jul 10 14:59 testfile
    # chmod 1000 testfile
    # ls -l testfile
    ---------- 1 root other 10 Jul 10 14:59 testfile

    It isn't the fact that the bit isn't set. I guess the biggest complaint is that there is no error when trying to set the bit.
    chmod returns success, even though it failed to set the bit.
    Normally, if someone does not have enough privileges to modify permissions on a file, an error is returned.

  • Sticky bit in unsupported AUR packages

    Hello,
    In my ventures to provide a PKGBUILD for an app called gnump3d, I've come across something with the unsupported (only?) build script packages in AUR that can cause some problems.
    Here is an (one) example of such a package:
    $ wget --quiet aur.archlinux.org/packages/tomcat/tomcat.tar.gz
    $ tar tvzf tomcat.tar.gz
    drwxr-sr-x nobody/aur 0 2006-06-27 02:50:53 tomcat/
    -rw-r--r-- nobody/aur 938 2006-06-27 02:49:10 tomcat/PKGBUILD
    -rw-r--r-- nobody/aur 415 2005-06-16 20:11:45 tomcat/tomcat.conf.d
    -rwxr-xr-x nobody/aur 706 2005-06-16 20:11:12 tomcat/tomcat
    Notice the owner, group and the sticky bit on the directory. These permissions seem to be standard for the AUR build script packages.
    Now, if use aurbuild to build this package, I get this content in the package:
    drwxr-sr-x root/root 0 2006-08-08 01:48:05 etc/
    drwxr-sr-x root/root 0 2006-08-08 01:48:05 etc/rc.d/
    -rwxr-xr-x root/root 706 2006-08-08 01:48:05 etc/rc.d/tomcat
    drwxr-sr-x root/root 0 2006-08-08 01:48:05 etc/conf.d/
    -rw-r--r-- root/root 415 2006-08-08 01:48:05 etc/conf.d/tomcat
    <SNIP>
    I'm pretty sure that these sticky bits weren't intended. If I build the package with yaourt, which uses srcpac as a backend, things get more troublesome:
    drwxr-sr-x root/549 0 2006-08-08 02:03:00 etc/
    drwxr-sr-x root/549 0 2006-08-08 02:03:00 etc/rc.d/
    -rwxr-xr-x root/549 706 2006-08-08 02:03:00 etc/rc.d/tomcat
    drwxr-sr-x root/549 0 2006-08-08 02:03:00 etc/conf.d/
    -rw-r--r-- root/549 415 2006-08-08 02:03:00 etc/conf.d/tomcat
    <SNIP>
    549 ought to be the group id of aur in the AUR repository.
    Careless usage of makepkg can also make this happen. Not building as root, but in a fakeroot environment, seems to prevent it from happen.
    From what I can see, the erroneous permissions are created when the install command is used in the PKGBUILD script, within the newly unpacked build script package.
    This is certainly not meant to bash the authors of aurbuild or yaourt (or tomcat; many PKGBUILDs use install, mine included), I just wanted to raise the issue. Can something be done about this? Don't know where, though. Removing the sticky bit on the directory in the build script package would be one solution. Or maybe makepkg could warn about erroneous permissions. Or... Or something? Is it a bug or a feature?
    Cheers

    Ok fixed aurbuild. Now it extracts the tarball from AUR into /tmp then copies it into the build dir which inherets the modes and owenership of the parent directory there (being $HOME), I'm pretty sure this is how tar does it.
    As pointed out above this setgid issue only occurred during root user builds.
    More info:
    -v1.5.1 (August 8, 2006)
    *Fixed inhereted setgid bit in the built the package resulting from AUR's set mode of the parent directory in the tarball.
    The unwanted inhereted bit occured only under the following circumstances:
    - user was root.
    - a 'install -m' line was excuted in the PKGBUILD without explicitly setting the first pair of octets, ie 644 instead of 0644
    - Any other type of 'chmod' command without the first octet set.
    If you have built any packages meeting the criteria list above, rebuild and install offending packages now. Run the update command to get the list of all
    packages built from AUR. String them together in a space separated line to aurbuild and use the menu to see if any install/chmod lines were used. You can
    use (s) from the menu to skip the current package and move on to the next.

  • Sticky bit changes the value of the script parameter 0

    Hi,
    I have a simple shell script:
    #!/bin/sh
    echo $0It simply returns its own name.
    But when I set a sticky bit on this script, it returns
    /dev/fd/3
    Is it like it is supposed to be? What is the rationale behind such behavior?
    I use Solaris 8.
    Thanks,
    Yevgeny

    I have a simple shell script:
    #!/bin/sh
    echo $0It simply returns its own name.
    But when I set a sticky bit on this script, it
    returns
    /dev/fd/3s/sticky/setuid/
    or
    s/sticky/setgid/
    Is it like it is supposed to be?Yes
    What is the rationale behind such behavior?If fixes a race condition for setuid / setgid "#!" interpreter scripts.
    Without it, someone could replace the script file during the small
    window between the kernel's exec of the interpreter /bin/sh and
    the time the /bin/sh shell opens the script.
    The fix is to pass a reference to the already open script file using
    the /dev/fd/N pseudo filesystem.

  • Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

    Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
    1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
    2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
    Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alejandro,
    That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
    I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
    Thanks

  • Install sqldeveloper on windows 7 64 Bit and Oracle 11.2

    Hi,
    how can I find the rigth jdk. I installed JDK on C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23.
    I installed Oracle 11.2 including sqldeveloper. But I cannot find the correct folder to start sqldeveloper.
    Where can I find this path?
    When I include a path with java.exe I get the error "Unable to find a Java Virtual Machine. To point to a locacion of a Java Virtual Machine, pleaser refer to the Oracle9i Jdeveloper Install guide (jdev\install.html)" Where can I find this?
    Thank you for your help
    Siegwin

    I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I see that installing Oracle 11.2 database installs SQL Developer also but that doesn't work. I get the .bat file not found crap. What I then did was do a seperate install of SQL Developer for 64 bit, but that does NOT install the jdk.
    I then did the java install from:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html
    I selected: jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe

  • CC, CC 64 Bit, and CC 2014? WTF?

    It's bad enough Adobe can't figure out how to make the same features in one program work the same in a different program. To top it off, instead of improving what are now "apps" and integrating we now have more new programs to do the same thing (e.g. not just one for website creation, not just one for photos, not just one for illustrations, not just one for animation, etc...) and to top it off again they get rid of important programs like Soundbooth, and stop upgrading ones we need like Encore. I am beginning to think the CC is for Creative Chaos not Creative Cloud....
    So, I uninstalled my CS5 master suite finally and moved presumably up to CC. But, now do I not only have more than one program to do the same thing more now I also have 3 of each! Wow! That's STUPID. Sorry, I hate using that word, but what in the hell?
    Why is it when I go to my programs I have a CC version, a CC 64 bit, and now new to the Creative Chaos we have CC 2014 versions!!!!          What? Really? Someone, please help me maintain my sanity. Before I realized it I was using Premiere CC then I inadvertantly started using CC 2014. Then I was like "something is missing, oh, wait, what? there's more than one version of premiere in CC???" Then I realized "oh, there's 3 of Illustrator, Photoshop, and inDesign?
    I of course have a 64 bit system, so should I only use the 64 bit versions and just delete the shortcuts to the others? and when there isn't a 64bit version but instead just a CC and a CC2014 version, which do I use? I mean, I assume the CC 2014. But, in 2014 will something change, will I be like "damn it, I should have been using the CC not the CC2014"?
    Adobe, please clean up all your software, boil it down to just the ones we need, we don't need more than one program to do THE SAME THING. and once you boil it down, don't give us three versions of it, ask "do you want the 64 bit version or the 32" and we'll be happy to download precisely what we need. Or better yet, figure out a way to make it work with one program. And, of course while you're at it combine the CC and CC XXXX version of each, WTF???

    32bit programs are installed for those people who use plugins that have not been updated to 64bit
    CC and CC2014 have different source code bases, so they are different programs

  • What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

    What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
    Thanks
    Shashikala

    This is the basic difference...check if helps:
    A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
    4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
    On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
    more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
    As you can see, it is significantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science fiction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
    decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
    and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

  • Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same Mac Pro HD?

    Has anyone been able to install both Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same dedicated Windows hard drive? I have four HD in my Mac Pro, and one of them is dedicated for Windows (and bootable via Boot Camp). I found the following technical articles about installing Windows XP & Vista on the same hard drive (using two separate partitions) using a VMWare machine as the test system:

    Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit) on the same NTFS partition?
    I already have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3 installed on my single NTFS hard drive. I am looking for the best way to add the Vista 64-bit installation on the same hard drive.
    Any thoughts and advise are appreciated.

    Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
    As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
    I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
    When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.

  • Install demo of CS4 Web Premium-Photoshop Installs 64 bit and x86 versions but 64 bit does not work

    Just installed the CS4 Web Premium demo onto a brand new 64 bit i7 processor with Windows Seven Home Premium machine with 9gb memory. The install seems to be fine except it installed a 64 bit version as well as x86 version into different folders. The x86 version works fine but the 64 bit version does not.
    Every time I try to open a file using "Open With' I get the following message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
    First of all why does it install both versions and why does it try to open everything in the 64bit version even after specifically telling it to open in the x86 version (even after setting the default file association to the x86 version.
    I would of course like to use the 64 bit veriosn but if it not going to work. I'll use the 32 bit version. I just wantto be able to right click my mouse and be able to "Open With". I can open Photoshop 32 bit and open the file that way but it is a pain to do that way.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Both are installed to allow you to use 32 bit plugins. As for the problem, you'll get far more attention in the Photoshop forum.

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.
