File System Permissions
Umask
: umask is the value with this umask
mask value kernel can identify who is going to create a file or directory.
umask is the command to find out umask value
root - umask 0022
normal -umask 0002
default permissions = maximum permissions-umask
For a file :-
root
maximum permissions of a file 666
umask 022 (-)
Normal User
maximum permissions of a file 666
umask 002 (-)
For a directory
root
maximum permissions of a directory 777
umask 022 (-)
Normal User
maximum permissions of a directory 777
umask 002 (-)
we can change permissions in two methods
symbolic mode
absolute mode (numeric mode)
symbolic mode
users permissions operators
u=owner(user) r=read +
g=group w=write -
o=other x=execute =
chmod is the command to change permissions
syntax: chmod <permissions> <file or dir name>
ex: chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx ds
(here we are giving full permissions to owner,read&execute for group & others
if we want to change permissions for a specific task
ex: here i want to give write to group
chmod g+w ds
absolute mode:
In Absolute mode we have to provide permissions in numeric signs
r = 4
w = 2
x = 1
syntax : <permissions of owner,group,other> <filename>
chmod 755 ds
here we are giving full permissions to owner &read execute to group & others
if we want remove total permissions for others
chmod 750 /home/mahesh
FILE PERMISSIONS(Top Level)
We have three advanced file permissions.
suid(su-)
sgid
stikybit
suid =4 , sgid =2 , stickybit=1 suid:

FILE PERMISSIONS(Top Level)
We have three advanced file permissions.
suid(su-)
sgid
stikybit
suid =4 , sgid =2 , stickybit=1 suid:
suid will be apply only on
commands suid is used to provide root previlages on a particular administrative
command for a normal user
ex: ls -l /bin/ping
In this example by default suid was applied for ping command thats why anybody can use ping command if we remove ping command nobody can use
check : chmod 755 /bin/ping
now try to ping from any user account(it wont ping) provide suid then ping once again
(providing suid chmod 4755 /bin/ping )
SGID : It is an advanced file permission for group inheritance. parent dierctory group is inherited to all files and directories.
SYNTAX : chmod g+s <filename>
ex : chmod g+s /redhat
STICKYBIT : stickybit is an advanced file permission through which owner and root can delete his file and no other users to allow to delete files
SYNTAX : chmod o+t <file name>
ex: chmod o+t /redhat
ex: ls -l /bin/ping

Hard Link-
-can create
only with in a partition
-Inode
number will be same.
-original
& link file are in same size.
Soft Link-
-can create
accross the partitions.
-Inodes
numbers are different.
-link file
size is less than org.file.
CONFIGURE HARD LINK
Syntax: ln <source file> <destination file>
ex : ln /dev/sda /dev/sdb
CONFIGURE SOFT LINK
SYNTAX : ln -s <source file><destination file>
ex : ln -s /usr/king /root/redhat
ACL (Access Control Lists)
To configure different set of file permissions for different users on a single resource (files/folder) Acls are implemented. Acls can be applied on users and groups.
To apply an Acl for an user
SYNTAX : setfacl -m u:<username>:<permissions> <file or directory name>
ex : setfacl -m u:mahesh:rwx /linuxadmin
To check acls of file or directory
SYNTAX :getfacl <file or directory name>
ex : getfacl /bsrtech
To apply an acl for a group
Syntax : setfacl -m g:<groupname>:<permissions> <file or directory name>
ex : setfacl -m g:sales:rwx /linuxadmin
To Remove acl
SYNTAX :setfacl -x u:<username>: <file or directory name>
ex : setfacl -x u:nabish: /linuxadmin (u -user)
ex : setfacl -x g:finance: /linuxadmin (g - group)
Syntax: ln <source file> <destination file>
