Btw, I created a folder as root, how can I grant access to it for everyone?

< |SiN> chmod 777
thats more that just access thats write perms too

< |SiN> yeah
< |SiN> i kno
< |SiN> chmod 766 for read execute acess?
< |SiN> if i remember correctly
what about the subfolders?
and all containing files
|

SiN: 755 ..
rwxr-xr-x
Icewolf: what do you want .. rw for all .. or r for all .. OR ?
just 777 for all
< |SiN> chmod -R 777
all subfolders/files in a dir
i am
|SiN: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
thats FILTH
Icewolf: all WHAT though???
all readable ..
< |SiN> znx your Filth
all writable
ALL WHAT
i mounted my dir windows to my NTFS file system
< |SiN> Icewolf just 777 for all
|SiN: 777 on a file .. WHY!
Icewolf: ok .. you cant do it then
< |SiN> no
you CANNT chmod on ntfs
< |SiN> NTFS is read only
you need to use umask .. Icewolf ..
in them moust
How so?
*mount
Icewolf: NTFS doesnt understand chmod ..
yeh and set umask as znx said
< |SiN> Caus it is not safe writing to a ntfs partition
it has its own permissions
znx > all of you
|SiN: no its nothing to do with that
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /media/windows
Icewolf: mount -t ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/hda5 /media/windows
This is what I'm doing to mount it, how could I change the permission so that I can view all files in linux as non-root user
will make it accessible to all
cool, thanks
