megiddo_99 Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 What I want to do: give myself access to a folder named 'megiddo' in the home directory Why I want to do it: because it's the way my other server is set up, this way I could test things out before I upload to the server ( the absolute path has to be the same ) Why I can't do it: Linux has something that checks securtiy settings periodically or something... chmods aren't permanent. Is there any way that I can make this work? Moved from Software forum to Security forum by Artificial Intrelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 What distro are you using? Are you talking about linux in general or Mandrake in particular? Anyway, if you are using Mandrake, there is a way to do it. Go to Mandrake Control Center, Select Security, then Permissions. In that section, press the button Add a rule. Drakperm window will come up and you can set up the permission for your /home/megiddo in there. This setting for that directory will be permanent until you change it or you delete the rule. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
