If you want to change the permission so to a file so they mirror what you see, then do:

chmod 7500

# man chmod for an explanation of the '7500'.

it looks like the SUID , SGID and sticky bit are set on the file

to set the s for user it's setuid
the s for group is setgid

for the T chmod o+t

Do a man of ls; that will tell you precisely which mode bits are set. In your case, a chmod 7500 filename will do the trick.

For security reasons, if you set the mode to 7500 on a file as a regular user and then chown root the file, the setuid bit is cleared.

I find that the obsolescent numeric mode options are easier and more transportable to Perl than the symbolic chmod options. Man 1 chmod for those details.

Hi all

Can the use of these permissions be explained.

What is impact of s
What is impact of S
what is the impact of T
In some cases I have seen "t" in permissions. What is that?

Re: Permissions related

A. Clay Stephenson — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:20:20 GMT

Yes they can be explained. A "man ls" will explain it fully. Now if you need more explanation of the setuid, setgid, and sticky bits (save text image after execution) then a man 2 chmod is a good place to start. You need to learn to read the man pages and pay attention to the "SEE ALSO" sections. If you don't learn these skills, your career in UNIX will be severely limited.

Akram Shaik — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:30:09 GMT

Exactly,

I do a man often but search for things which I need to find alone... Reading the whole man page will only workout to grasp the things..

Thanks for your advice Clay. I have been in this field of UNIX(hp) for the past 4 months only.. There are really lots to learn...

The prior post is a complaint about your rate of point assignment. In ITRC thats how we thank each other for help.

Click above if you'd like to go clean up your record.

chmod 3750 or chmod 2750 will set the propertied of all files created in a folder and may be useful to you.

The man pages for ls and such do have very good explanations on what the permission displays mean.

>In some cases I have seen "t" in permissions.

If there is a "t" in the other field for a symlink, it means transition link. These are removed in 11.31.

Hi Steven,

I read the link ITRC Forums Etiquette. Considering this thread as an example there have been answers from many in a short time which solved the purpose.
My queries are should,
1. Should Equal points be given to all memebers who gave the solution?
2. should we not leave the points for answer dropdown left unassigned i.e either points to be assigned or should be 0 points?

Thnx for ur suggestions.

Re: Permissions related

Steven E. Protter — Tue, 01 May 2007 03:25:12 GMT

Its a matter of personal preference.

I always personally assign 1 point to anyone that makes an effort to answer.

I try and give solution quality answer points in the 8-10 range.

Anything else is subjective, but I do strive for a perfect assignment record. I try and hand out based on the quality and effort of the response.

Regards and thanks much for your attention to these things. It makes ITRC a better place.
