CHMOD

CHMOD is used to change permissions of a file.

PERMISSION COMMAND

U G W

rwx rwx rwx chmod 777 filename

rwx rwx r-x chmod 775 filename

rwx r-x r-x chmod 755 filename

rw- rw- r-- chmod 664 filename

rw- r-- r-- chmod 644 filename

U = User

G = Group

W = World

r = Readable

w = writable

x = executable

- = no permission

Here is another way of looking at it:

Permissions:

400 read by owner

040 read by group

004 read by anybody (other)

200 write by owner

020 write by group

002 write by anybody

100 execute by owner

010 execute by group

001 execute by anybody

To get a combination, just add them up. For example, to get read, write, execute by owner, read, execute, by group, and execute by anybody, you would add 400+200+100+040+010+001 to give 751.

Handle Too-Long Command Lines with xargs

Handle Too-Long Command Lines with xargs xargs is one of those UNIX utilities that seems pretty useless when you first hear about it -- but turns into one of the handiest tools you can have. xargs reads a group of arguments from its standard input, then runs a UNIX command with that group of arguments. It keeps reading arguments and running the command until it runs out of arguments. The shell's backquotes do the same kind of thing, but they give all the arguments to the command at once. This can give you a Too many arguments error. Here are a couple of examples: If you want to print most of the files in a large directory, put the output of ls into a file. Edit the file to leave just the filenames you want printed. Give the file to xargs ' standard input: % ls > allfiles.tmp % vi allfiles.tmp % xargs lpr What did that do? With lines like these in allfiles.tmp : % cat allfiles.tmp afile application ... yoyotest zapme xargs ran one or more lpr commands, each wit...

Cisco Command "Auto secure"

Cisco Command "Auto secure" In today's article, I'm going to quickly inform you about the Privileged EXEC command named "auto secure". Network administrators (like you) use the "auto secure" command to secure the management and forwarding planes of a router. Another way of saying it is, CCNAs use this command to secure a router by disabling common IP services which can be exploited by attackers to initiate network attacks. When the command is typed on a router, it takes the user (ccna) through a command line-interface (CLI) semi-interactive session (which is also known as the AutoSecure dialogue). Below is the command's syntax: auto secure [management | forwarding] [no-interact | full] [ntp | login | ssh | firewall | tcp-intercept] As you can see, the command can use several "optional" keywords: management - This (optional) keyword is used to only secure the management plane of a router. forwarding - This (optional) keyword is used to...
