Linux 0755

[Charise Scrivner]

Chmodnumber sets the permissions to exactly that number. Chmod relative only changes the requested bits. A file whose permissions were 000 before chmod +x will now be 111. Conversely, a file whose permissions were 0775 before (read+write+execute for owner and group; read and execute for others) will be unchanged by chmod +x, whereas setting the mode to exactly 0755 will change the 020 bit (remove write access for group).

No, they are not equivalent because chmod+x will set the file permission to execute for the current user and chmod 0755 will allow full permission to owner, read and execute permission for groups and for others. And regarding first digit here according to man page:

I am experimenting with Samba. I have a RAID drive mounted on /mnt/raiddrives, and I want to share it on my network giving everyone full access to it. The Ubuntu guide says to do something like below in the smb.conf file:

However, assuming the permissions are being set with the create mask value, the 0755 means nothing to me. Searching on the web just brings up hundreds of people using different numbers with no clear explanation of what the numbers mean. So can someone tell me what the numbers mean and how I can figure out what number I want to use please?

Another method for representing Linux permissions is an octal notation as shown by stat -c %a. This notation consists of at least three digits. Each of the three rightmost digits represents a different component of the permissions: owner, group, and others.

Background info:

On an up to date Arch system, which just underwent a recovery from a near catastrophic event: "> sudo chown -R radicale:radicale /"

The system now seems operational, complete with gdm, but glitches may remain.

Modifying systemd's bluetooth.service unit, i.e. changing the ConfigurationDirectoryMode value from 0555 to 0755, reconciles the /etc/bluetooth directory created by bluez with mode 0755 with the service unit's key-value setting of 0555. Warnings disappears after:

Hello Christan,

I made a backup of asd2 site 1.6 version on RHEL7 and restored it on a RHEL8 server. Then I tried to upgrade asd2 site from 1.6 to 2.0.p6 on the RHEL8 server. Even when I use an empty main.mk I get the same issue.

Kind regards

if you install syslog-ng on the linux VM and redirect the logs to a file and redirect the splunk UF to read the syslog-ng data from the file on the VM and send the data to splunk would be a splunk recommended best practise . Basically when you log to a local file, it provides a local buffer and you aren't blocked if the network goes down.

Thanks for the answer I configured the port under the "forwarding and recieving" option as you said and went through this documentation ( _us/blog/tips-and-tricks/using-syslog-ng-with-splunk.html). I was able to get the configuration that I needed to put in /syslog-ng/conf.d, although it doesn't write the directories in the destinations that are given. I also checked if SELinux was interfering but it is disabled, do you know what the problem could be?.

I am monitoring that file using SplunkUF and I can see it in the splunk web panel although, I'm trying to use the script posted in the community in order to separate the logs into different files or folders and it isn't working.
