Default user permission...

Hi!

I think that is something wrong with the user (mine) permission.
For example id I run as root in /home/ajtim folser ls -l I got (there are more):

drwxr-xr-x 2 ajtim wheel 512 Sep 25 18:06 .xine
-rw-r--r-- 1 ajtim wheel 15 Aug 11 16:21 .xinitrc
drwx------ 2 ajtim ajtim 512 Jun 18 15:45 Desktop
drwx------ 11 ajtim ajtim 1024 Sep 25 09:38 Documents

as user ajtim ls -l and I got:
drwx------ 2 ajtim 1002 512 Jun 18 15:45 Desktop
drwx------ 11 ajtim 1002 1024 Sep 25 09:38 Documents

and as user ls -la:
drwxr-xr-x 2 ajtim 0 512 Sep 25 18:06 .xine
-rw-r--r-- 1 ajtim 0 15 Aug 11 16:21 .xinitrc
drwx------ 2 ajtim 1002 512 Jun 18 15:45 Desktop
drwx------ 11 ajtim 1002 1024 Sep 25 09:38 Documents

User is member also of wheel and operator groups.

How should I ecit user account, please? I check /etc/group, passw and master.passwd and looks okay. Itry to change primary group with pw usermode -g wheel ajtim and I got:

pw: user name or id required

Thanks a lot...

Mitja

I thought that for examle ls -l should shows the same for the user and root.

I am confused because miro player stopped working for user after one year and before that I run a script "lockdown" ( I deinstalled and put the system back as was before - I hope).

and ls -l (user)

-rw------- 1 root 0 556 Sep 28 15:32 /etc/group

One another problem. I use midnight commander and checked "chmod" of /ome/ajtim/.chrc
permission is 100644
owner ajtim (user as I logged in) and group name is 0.
ajtim is a member of the wheel group.
Now I tried to use chown and there are user name - ajtim but in group name is Unknown Group. Chown advanced command shown me group 0 but there are no other options. This works before because I use sometimes.

I changed the permission of /etc/group and now I can use chown...
BTW: miro payer doesn;t works as user still.

Make sure you use ls -la in all those cases.
In the examples you gave you used both ls -l and ls -la.

I was referring to your original post, where you where missing -a flag and therefore didn't show dot files.

My FBSD machines also do show dot-files for root without the -a flag btw...

-A is set automatically for the root user, from ls(1)
Code:
     -A      Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (`.')
             except for . and ...  Automatically set for the super-user unless
             -I is specified.
You can use -I (That's a capital i) to prevent this, again from ls(1):
Code:
     -I      Prevent -A from being automatically set for the super-user.
IIRC -I was introduced in FreeBSD 6, it's not present in the other BSD's or GNU ls.

CS is right, The -I argument is unsupported on OpenBSD.. the behaviour of -A is the same though.

The only issue is that the file /etc/group should be world-readable. Because it is not, ls is not able to look up the group name. It may also cause other problems. to fix:# chmod a+r /etc/group, as root.
