debian /var/lock permissions

debian /var/lock permissions

[William Hubbs]

Cheryl,

I am running debian 3.0 (woody), and I just checked the permissions on
/var/lock here:

drwxrwxrwt    3 root     root         1024 Mar 14 11:56 /var/lock

To get that permission, type, as root,

chmod 1777 /var/lock

Hi William. I've never gotten the logic behind the numbering systems to set file permissions. Like how do you get from something like chmod +x /home/file.txt to chmod 755 /home/file.txt. I'm just curious as to whether someone has figured out the logic behind this.

Hi.  Each permission needs one bit.  Remember binary.

Re: debian /var/lock permissions

[Cheryl Homiak]

Yes, I have the same permissions, but I have a 2 instead of a 3.

Re: debian /var/lock permissions

[jwantz]

Hi,
Each group represents root, user and world in that order.  Of course 
each bit represents a permission.  The permissions are in the same order 
as what you would see when you did a 'ls -l' command i.e. read, write, 
execute.
Therefore a 7 would mean read, write and execute permissions for that 
particular group.

An example would be: chmod 774 myfile.txt.
In this case root would have read, write and execute permissions.  So 
would the owner of the file.  All others would have only read 
permissions.

Re: debian /var/lock permissions

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Jim. I think I get it now, but what are the bit numbers for read and right? So based on the fact that I know execute is 7, chmod 777 myfile.txt would give root, user, and world read right and execute permissions on myfile.txt?

Re: debian /var/lock permissions

[Cheryl Homiak]

Well, I'm not Jim, but it isn't really that execute is 7.
Read is 4, write is 2, and execute is 1.
So 6 would be read-write 7 would be read-write-execute, 1 would be just execute,
etc.

Re: debian /var/lock permissions

[jwantz]

Hi,
Okay, read permission for everybody i.e. root, group and user but 
excluding write and execute would be:
chmod 444 nybble.txt
To have read write and execute for root, read and execute for group and 
read for all others:
chmod 754 nybble.txt
Just remember each bit in that order read, write and execute.

Hey Cheryl,
Yes, you said it a different way than I did.  With both explanations 
hopefully he'll get it.  Thanks.
