Why can’t I delete a file where I have group write permissions on?

I have a file with the following permissions:

root:data, and chmod set to 775.

My normal user, let’s call him boby, is in the data group.

Why can’t I delete the file with the user boby?

Restrict a Linux user to the files he owns

Imagine a server setup of a shared webhosting company where multiple (~100) customers have shell access to a single server.

A lot of web “software” recommends to chmod files 0777. I’m nervous about our customers unwisely following these tutorials, opening up their files to our other customers. (I’m certainly not using cmod 0777needlessly myself!) Is…

Question for which I’m having trouble finding an answer on Google or Technet…

Does granting the SYSTEM user permissions to DFS-shared files and folders have any effect on DFS replication? (And while we’re at it, is there any good reason not to let SYSTEM have permissions to DFS-shared files?)

It comes up because I have a collection of DFS…

Windows XP cannot access a Windows 7 shared folder

I have a small business network, where there is a centralized imaging machine. This machine then has a shared folder with all the stored images. Originally the imaging machine was an XP, and the shared folder was easily accessed by all. However, we recently had to upgrade that machine to a new one with Win7 installed. The same shared folder is no…

Setting differing ACLs on directories and files

Quick ACL question:

I want to set up default permissions for a file share so that everyone can rwx all of the directories and so that all newly created files are rw. Everyone who is accessing this share is in the same group, so this isn’t a concern. I have looked at doing this via ACLs without changing all of the users’ umasks and such. Here are my…

setfacl to reset file to default permissions?

I have a directory with the following default ACLs:

default:user:phptutor:rwx

However, none of the files/directories in that directory have that default permission (because it was added after they were created).

A network share folder is invisible to users

I have a network share folder that I was recently cleaning up permissions to. I took off the four individual names from the access permissions to the folder, and added a new security group (Universal) with standard Read/Write permissions to that folder, then added those 4 people to the group.

However… now nobody can see the folder. The users can see…
