Oh, another thing you can look at when setting permissions is the httpd.conf file in under apache/conf. This file, sets all of the defaults for what the web server can and cannot do. One thing people run into sometimes is that this file (httpd.conf) is not set to allow executables. So even tho

As Robert said, the O'Reilly books are great. I have Linux in a Nutshell from O'Reilly and learned an easier way to change permissions than what I had been using. The idea is just to say what you want the permissions to be for user, group, and other. Here's some examples: /home/terry/temp>ls -l

Yes, Yes, there is =) : First, there are lots of neato tricks that people like us like to use to impress people such as 'chmod ug+rwx file' (which gives yourself and your group read, right, and execute access to 'file') but I'll try and give you some of the basics. btw, I'm not really one of thos

I use ppp, but I always sudo to use ppp, i.e. at the command line, type 'sudo pppd' are you can just su to root and then do it. I was under the impression that it is a bad idea to be able to have any user have permissions to ppp. I forget why, I am sure someone told me a while, I am sure somethin

What permissions should kppp have? Who should be the owner? I can dialup as root, but if I try to use kppp as a user, it dials, then the ppp deamon "dies unexpectedly". I know that this is in the help file, but I've lost that. Sunnan -- http://home.swipnet.se/sunnanvind I am you. [E
