MrMorden Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Being the n00b that I was when I first installed Mandrake 10.1 (at least a bigger n00b than I am now), I didn't allocate any space for a /home partition. So, no big deal, thought I, I'd just set up a directory under /usr/ called /res/ and give myself ownership of it. So I made a directory /usr/res/ and gave the user ownership of it, using an instance of konqueror with supervisor permissions. (ie, kdesu konqueror) However, every so often, Linux decides to return the ownership of /usr/res/ to root! Is there a permanent way to give the user ownership of /usr/res/, am I doing something I shouldn't be doing (and hence Mandrake is trying to prevent me from doing it), or is there another explanation of what's going on? I'm using Mandrake 10.1 official. Thank you, -MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 try mcc - security - permission - add a rule - browse for that directory - set the permission and users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorden Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 try mcc - security - permission - add a rule - browse for that directory - set the permission and users <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I've found the culprit, but I can't seem to do anything about it. When I start an instance of mcc --root, and go to secuirity - permissions, it says that /usr/* is owned by root (user and group), and it won't let me modify that entry. Any suggestions? -MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
