Hi,
If you are the only user on the system,
then why not login as root ... ;-)
If not, then thats the whole point about
security, that everyone is not able to
read/write/execute everything.
If you still want to do this, then
1) Login as root.
2) On the prompt, type the commands:
cd /
chmod -R 0777 *
I guess that should do it, though I don't
recommend it, nor can I understand why
someone would want to do so.
Regards,
Venky

Subject: [ilugd]: Handling of error 'permission denied'
Hi Folks,
After installation of linux on our system, many of us may have encountered
the problem of permission denied error eg.
When someone logs in he may come across of such kind of error of permission
denial (Shell-Init).
Now, In my case if I am trying to run the cat command to check the
connectivity of my modem by issuing the command cat > /dev/ttyS1 I am also
encountered by the error bash:/dev/ttyS1:permission denied.
All this need that our root directory and all the directories up to our home
directory must be readable and executable by everybody. Is there anyone who
can help me for how to fix this problem, I shall be thankful to him.
Best Regards,
Malkiat
