It's supposed to be 755, and individual users are not supposed to be able to write to /home directly anyway. I presume you've changed this. I guess you can do it that way if you insist, but it seems messy and difficult to manage safely. Why not create a shared directory for the two of you with 775 permissions? Other posts that I missed previously already explained about setting your umask in various places. With the right umask ( would work, or you could be more restrictive), and a directory you can both access it should be possible to do what you want. drwxrwxr-- 10 root staff 4096 May 9 22:37 /home/ You've made a directory, chowned it to your-family-group, set it to 775 so the group can write there. Then when you set your umask to 0 and create a file, your wife can then modify the same file, even though you still own it. This seems like what you want.

But what do I win with rsync. I read the man-page and as far as I could find out you can preserve the ownership of a file. But you can't change it. So I have to do a chmod on all the files as well.

If you're having problems like this, it seems the files must be in /usr or some other system directory. I can't begin to imagine why you yourself as your user need to be able to write to /usr, let alone share files there among all your other users. This smacks of being dangerous and poorly-conceived. I'm not going to tell you how to do what you want without first making sure you're not about to do something regretable. O.k.: I have three accounts on this desktop computer. The one for root, one for me and one for my wife. I wanted to seperate the account for my wife so she only has programs in the KDE-menue she will use. And she's only one desktop but I use multiple Desktops in KDE. That's why I seperated the accounts. But the problem I got with that is that we can't access files we're both working on. E.g. files in /home/Dokumente/ As far as I could see, you're solution lead to being new files from open office rw-rw--r-- That would be just what I want. The problem with mozilla is that we have email accounts together. Sure we both want to be able to read it. And the bookmarks-file should be for us both, too. So what I want is that mozilla uses the directory /home/.mozilla/ for storing its files for my wife as well as for me. Mozilla points korrekt to the directory but because my wife's account has no write permissions mozilla is deleting the bookmark file and creates a new empty one. The permissions of the new file is -rw---1 ulrich staff 86910 May 9 20:11 /home/.mozilla/Gemeinsam/oeftg7hl.slt/bookmarks.html or -rw---1 birgit staff 86910 May 9 22:30 /home/.mozilla/Gemeinsam/oeftg7hl.slt/bookmarks.html according to who last started mozilla (btw. it's mozilla 1.6 from backports.org) Can you better define the problem in terms of specific files you want to be common among all your users? want ( - r w - r w - r - ) . How can I O.K. I have to change that! - r w - r w - - - - would be even better. change this, not only for mozilla but for some other shared directories, too. That's what I'm really not getting. *What* shared directories? Is Mozilla some bizarre exception to the rule that individual user config files belong in ~ and systemwide defaults are immutable? If you yourself need to write to anything outside of /home/you to use Mozilla, something seems badly out of whack. I don't have to. Normaly mozilla would store it's files under ~/.mozilla/ but I thought it would be easier to share them when I have them in /home/.mozilla/ so I changed the location of the files. Which is by the way no hack but implemented in mozilla. You can use every directory you have write permissions. Perhaps It seems much more likely that a better approach to this would be to devise some way to keep dotfiles (such as maybe ~/.mozilla) between your users in sync with each other, which could possibly be accomplished with far less potential danger to the integrity of your system. Perhaps create a common user directory owned by your group, set with group rwx permissions, and create symlinks from individual user directories to the files contained in this common place. I suppose you'd still have to tweak your umask to make that useful, but it would be far less dangerous than giving everybody permission to write to certain files in, say, /usr somewhere. O.K. but afaik a sym-link has the same permissions as the original file. So when I create a symlink from a file with "-rw--- ulrich:staff" (thats me and my primary group) has read and write permission the symlink would have the same and not "-rw--- birgit:staff" or "-rw-rw". So I thought /that/ wouldn't help. Or am I wrong with that? TIA Ulrich

So no other user can get write access. I found out that I should set the sgid/suid-bit for the directories but that doesn't help. Whenever I create a test-file with 'touch file' it has only write permissions for the user not for the group. look for umask. Maybe setting it to umask 002 in /etc/profile might help you. umask was set to 022 but setting it to 002 either in /etc/profile or in the kde-console doesn't help for the konqueror or other programs but only for the kde-console.

default file permissions
Hallo and good evening! I want to use the same mozilla-profile for different users. But every knew file gets the permission - r w - r - - r - - . So no other user can get write access. I found out that I should set the sgid/suid-bit for the directories but that doesn't help. Whenever I create a test-file with 'touch file' it has only write permissions for the user not for the group. My primary group is 'staff' (the same for the other users). On the console (not in KDE) I get the permissions as I want ( - r w - r w - r - ) . How can I change this, not only for mozilla but for some other shared directories, too. I use KDE 3.1.4 on a woody box. TIA Ulrich
Re: printer driver trouble
Robert Packer wrote: HI, I've been trying to add a printer, actually I've tried to install two different printers and get the same error. When I go to the Add Printer wizard and I choose a driver to use from the list provided in the driver selection window and click next I get the error: Unable to load the requested driver: Unable to create the Foomatic driver [whichEverDriverIChoose]. Either that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation. Sorry for asking but are you root or do you try that as a user? AFAIK you have to add printer as root. Sure it's like that in cups. Ulrich

kcontrol crashed bei Auswahl "Soundsystem"
Hi! I have a problem with the Control Center. Whenever I klick on Sound & Multimedia --> Soundsystem kcontrol crashes with The application KDE Control Center (kcontrol) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). --- 8< --- I found a bug report, but it's only about the system notification. (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74201). Before this happend for the first time I newly installed alsa. on my woody box with kde 3.1.4 and kernel 2.4.24 In the control center I choose as Soundsystem "alsa". Since then I never could go back. Is this a new bug or is it a failure somewhere else. Where can I search for the reason, and where is the config file to change things by hand? I didn't find anything in the log files. Neither /var/log/syslog , .../messages or .../kde.log tells something about it. TIA Ulrich Fürst

Then do apt-get update apt-get install x-window-system-core That was the solution! I just finished installing it and it's running well. Were did you obtained this source? For some reason I couldn't do the installation with any of the other sites. Interesting to find out why was that. Anyway, thank you for your help, Sorry, don't know anymore, where I got this source but it's often mentioned in other newsgroups (debian-user-german for example). Ulrich Happy that I could help!
