Now I do not want to setup these developers default group to be this single group cause they could be members of multiple groups...

IE:

/var/www/cust1 - Group Cust1
/var/www/cust2 - Group Cust2
etc...

Then say for the developers:

dev1 - member of Cust1 & Cust2 - Default group is dev1
dev2 - member of Cust2 - Default group is dev2
dev3 - member of Cust1 - Default group is dev3

So when they go into say /var/www/cust1 only dev1 & dev3 should have access to modify files and when they create/edit files the owner should be the user and the group I want it to be Cust1. Then when going to say the Cust2 area new files and stuff have Cust2 group access with RWX.

Is this possible for users to just use their normal accounts, or will I need to look are setting up "project" accounts where they can su into say dev1cust1 account which will have the default group of Cust1?

Let me know how you all handle this and what I might be able to do so that the permissions stick.

Thank you all for any help.

I have been having problems with filesystem corruption on my eeepc 1000H for a long time now. I have tried using different filesystems, kernels and distributions (arch, slackware) to no effect. I am starting to grow suspicious that this problem lies somewhere else, as I haven't seen anyone else having similar problems in such a variety of scenarios.

I have tried testing my ram using memtest86+, didn't come up with anything after a full run through. I also have tried using e2fsck -c to check for bad blocks, it finds none. I had a go at using smartctl but wasn't really sure what I was doing. I did a long test and it came up with nothing anyway.

This problem is in addition to the problems I've been having with my intel graphics chip and KMS. A lot of the time there are lockups when booting into X, which can only be gotten out of by a hard reset. This is sometimes what causes the original filesystem errors. I've stopped messing around with KMS for now to eliminate this but my current system in unbootable.

I'm guessing my disk is wrecked but have as yet seen no definitive proof. Can anyone recommend anything that I should do?

I am currently on ext4 with a custom kernel 2.6.33-rc6 (the stock kernel shipping with slackware does not have the elantech extension for psmouse included). When I was using arch, I was just using the stock kernels.

I have a toshiba phone system that has a feature where it spits raw data and i can direct that data to a serial port on the toshiba phone system or to an IP/PORT

the data is just ascii data - tells me calls that are made/time/etc

I would like to setup an existing linux box to capture this data and store the data for me

then later i can build reports based on that data (and for me a report could be just a few cat's/greps/etc so basic stuff) - but i can figure this out later.

for now i would just like to GRAB the data on a port and dump it into a file (and recycle files every 24 hours)

are there any built in utilities that can help me do this? ]]> Linux - Newbie realized http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=788078 <![CDATA[[SOLVED] grep a string with space]]> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=788077&goto=newpost Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:06:01 GMT

Hi All,

I am using Sun 5.9.

I am putting the value "Feb 10" in variable 'c' here.

Code:

-bash-3.00$ c=`date | awk '{print $2 " " $3}'`

-bash-3.00$ echo $c

Feb 10

But when I am grep-ing value of 'c', I am getting this error.

Code:

-bash-3.00$ ls -lrth | grep $c

grep: can't open 10

This is because there is a space between "Feb" and "10".

Any other way out ?

There are also some good files that I need to keep. therefore I need a script to delete based on inode.

What I have thus far:

# I need to get the inode of.
for i in $list
do
find . -inum $i -exec rm -i {} \;
echo "delete file" $i >> /home/me/tmp/del_inode.txt
done

I know this is not right ... what I know is is the 'find' is. I need to loop through the $list gleaning inodes to get all the files with '\' delete. I'm not sure how. The $i gives me the whole line. I just want the first position.

i'm running a game server and have a problem when i put the ip address into the start up command. i can start it ok using the local ip address, 192.168.1.69, for example, but this doesnt seem to put the game on the master server list so i tried to use the ip address assigned to the router, which is port forwarded to my server but i get the error:

Opening IP socket 86.x.x.x:27960 ERROR: UDP OpenSocket: bind: Cannot asign requested address

do i have to do something with iptables or /etc/network/interfaces?

the only other thing i can think of is DMZ and i dont really want to do that, the relevent ports are open in the router and with iptables

maybe i have to put a rule in iptables to allow the ip address too?
