how to find out about drives?

[tyler]

Hay list,
Can someone tell me how to find out what folder a drive is mounted on?
I have like 4 partitions, that debian made when it installed (I chose the 
second option) I forget wich one it was, and I have all those partitions,
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield.

Folders is a windows term, they're called directories under
gnu/linux. To answer your question, type

mount

as root, and it will tell you what you want to know.

df

Just type df at the console, and it should show you all that, I think the 
mount point is the last thing on the line.

Re: how to find out about drives?

[tyler]

I have another question, I was just trying to titen security, I don't like 
it when people can "ls" or see what files and what users are in my home dir.
I did chmod 400 (a hit from google) and, now I always just get permission 
denied.
What permissions should I use for /home and /home/user?
Also, is there an easy way to add users to multiple groups?
I have other dirs I want to manage access to, but would like to save sanity 
and just use groups.
Last thing.
I want to enable users that have ssh access to use proftpd. I keep getting a 
ton, and I mean a ton of erorrs when I try to config the thing with the 
tutorials.
I just had to reinstall debian, and had it working before, but can't find 
the tutorial that I used to do it with.
Any help with any of these is really appriciated, and my appologies for 
these questions,
I have googled in circles for these questions, and if jaws doesn't yell 
because he has seen the same page 10000 times, I am about to.
Thanks,
Thanks

Tyler Littlefield.

Re: how to find out about drives?

[Chris Norman]

Do you understand the bits?

They work as follows:

4 = read (r).
2 = write (w).
1 = execute (x).

So if I were for you, I would use 700 for /home/user, and probably 777 for 
/home.

HTH,

Chris Norman

Re: how to find out about drives?

[tyler]

I don't really understand how that works.. I am assuming it is binary or 
hex, so, if I wanted to take read away from the home dir, what would it be?
Sorry and thanks,

Re: how to find out about drives?

[Gregory Nowak]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

By putting /home as 400, you're taking away execute permissions on it,
and you need those if you expect to be able to cd into a
directory. For /home, I'd recommend 755, and for /home/user I'd
recommend 711. Others on here may have different recommendations.

As for your proftpd question, debian has a proftpd-doc package, which
will give you lots of goodies in /usr/share/doc/proftpd-doc once you
install it.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe it's octal (base-8).

If you take Chris' example of 700, taking read away from that would
give you 300.

OK, so, I can just well, I didn't totally get it, but. I got it working the 
way I wanted, I just did chmod 300 and chmod -x.
how would I add users to a group? I can create groups fine, that was easy, 
but google doesn't tell you how to add users. lol

To add users to groups, you read the group(5) man page, and edit
/etc/group by hand.

Yes, but adduser will only do what he wants for new users, it will not
do what he wants for existing users.

Greg,

Debian has enhanced the adduser command so it can add an existing user 
to an additional group, like this:

adduser username newgroup

and you don't lose any groups the user has already joined.
