I can't seem to locate info on how to set default permissions for a folder and it's contents.

look at: http://www.linuxforums.org/security/file_permissions.html

Thanks for the reference. It looks like the answer to my question is in there somewhere but it also looks like I'm going to have to spend some time in there.

I've got the feeling that Donald is after the file or area that SuSE stores its 'default' set of permissions that it refers to when it automatically creates a new entry in fstab. Am I correct? If so, I would be very interested in knowing this myself. I did ask a few weeks ago but presumed that nobody knew as it went unanswered. I too know about stuff like running chmod 777 as an example of giving full read, write and execute permissions to everybody. It's just where that default file actually is? -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

How about the /etc/permissions* files? Especially /etc/permissions.local to keep specific settings over various YOU, synaptic, smart updates and upgrades.

Cheers Stan.

You mean hotplugged devices, like usb drives? Look under /etc/udev and perhaps /usr/share/hal

Mmmm, yes and no, Carlos. I'd like to know where the area is that SuSE actually holds the file with it's permissions set. As an example, if I were to install a brand new clean SuSE 10 where are the actual device permissions held that the install refers to then? -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
