cardassianscot Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I am having a problem running 9.2 . I want a directory /home/all to be readable and writable by everyone and set the permissions appropriately. However, every so often the writable permission keeps resetting and making it read only to anyone not in the owners group. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it? I guess I could write a small script which keeps resetting the permissions every so often but this would be papering over a problem without discovering the undelying causes which I don't like doing.

xoox Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 As I do not use English language settings I do not know the English labeling in the Mandrake Control Center. But try this: In the MCC go to "Security" (or soemthing like that) and there choose "Permissions" (or similar). Then you can add new rules for the default permissions of directory or files.
