RE: [newbie] Shell Script
For security reasons I wouldn't recommend adding any user to the root group. Rather, change all the cgi scripts to be owned by user nobody. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 10:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Shell Script But can I, as root, give permission to run a file as world executable in a user's home directory? The reason I ask is I tried that and it -- the cgi file -- wouldn't work, until I changed the owner to the user of the home directory ... oh wait. I had changed the group, not the user. I see now. You have to change both. If the file is the group "root," but the owner is the user "mitch," it won't run because mitch isn't in the root group. So if the file is in the group root, then the user would also have to be the root group for the file to be executable? That makes sense. Duh!

Lanman, I have not yet decided on a cable modem or DSL. I have heard pros and cons for both but still haven't made up my mind.

[newbie] Updating
I have LM 8.0 installed and everything is working beautifully. My question is this: There are some updates out there that I want -Evolution being one of them. I opened the software manager and tried defining a new source (an FTP source that I got from the LM download site.) I tried several of the FTP URLs but each time the software manager finishes looking at the site, I open the defined sources and the list is gone. It never retains the sources I put in there. For example, one of the sources I defined was this one: ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake/8.0/i586/ What am I missing?
