<kaiyilen_> how do i vew the permissions of a file/folder?

<SubWolf> ls -alFh

<SubWolf> Is what I normally do, -a is sufficient for long format.

<kaiyilen_> aw

<SubWolf> Sorry, -l for long. :x

<SubWolf> -a for all files.

<kaiyilen_> i want to change a directory so every one can read its contents

<kaiyilen_> that would be...

<SubWolf> chmod 755 (dirname)

<kaiyilen_> chmod a r

<kaiyilen_> ?

<kaiyilen_> oh

<kaiyilen_> :(

<kaiyilen_> rm -r (dirname) asks me if i want to remove each and every last direcotry/file one after another

<kaiyilen_> rmdir wont remove a directory that has things in it

<kaiyilen_> is there a way to remove a directory without it constantly asking if i want to rm each individual file?

<kaiyilen_> -fr

<SubWolf> Yes, sorry.

<SubWolf> rm -fr

<SubWolf> But thats a possible kiss of death, use with great great care!

<SubWolf> Like the day a few years back when I did "rm -fr bin", not realising I was in /usr/

<SubWolf> On one of our production web servers. Luckily everything kept running since it was in RAM, a few hours later the boss woke up and ftp'd the missing files over from an identical box.

<SubWolf> This is why I no longer do any server admin stuff past 1am. :x

<kaiyilen_> lol

<kaiyilen_> i've got a few hours before 1am

<kaiyilen_> and i've forced my self to get into the practice of typing the long name for the file

<kaiyilen_> pwd

<kaiyilen_> rm -fr ../../var/www/cacti

<kaiyilen_> that thingy there

<kaiyilen_> "groups" lets you view the groups

<kaiyilen_> and group-add doesnt work

<kaiyilen_> how do i create a group...

<kaiyilen_> groupadd

<SubWolf> Aye.

<SubWolf> Heh, groups, new one on me. Usually just cat /etc/group :x

<kaiyilen_> its in my book

<kaiyilen_> installing cacti

<kaiyilen_> :)

<SubWolf> My dad taught me basic sh when I was 8 or 9, few more bits and pieces in the years after that, then lots more in the last 3 or 4 years.

<SubWolf> Nice.

<kaiyilen_> sh?

<SubWolf> Shell cmds.

<kaiyilen_> aw

<kaiyilen_> i never had a teacher really

<kaiyilen_> aside from ameba...but he moved to a diff. time zone

<SubWolf> Ah.

<kaiyilen_> how do you add a user to a file?

<kaiyilen_> or can you only change owners...?

<SubWolf> You can change owners and groups.

<SubWolf> chown user:group file

<kaiyilen_> cant add

<SubWolf> No, you'll want to utilize groups.

<kaiyilen_> hm

<SubWolf> I'm working on a project called 'push' with a few coworkers, made a push group & put my pals in it, but I retain file ownership.

<SubWolf> Perms 775 so they can read/write/execute.

<kaiyilen_> aw

<kaiyilen_> can they delete thosefiles?

<SubWolf> Yes.

<kaiyilen_> in mysql

<kaiyilen_> how do you view the users?

<SubWolf> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;

<kaiyilen_> spiffy

<kaiyilen_> nothing as simple as "groups" though..?

<SubWolf> For MySQL?

<kaiyilen_> yeah

<SubWolf> Not really.

<kaiyilen_> okay

<SubWolf> [22:14] <MrPilot|AFK> Talk about one of those "Wanna get away?" moments... http://www.nbc10.com/news/10761790/detail.html

<kaiyilen_> he's gonna get beaten

<SubWolf> Big time.

<kaiyilen_> deserves it

<kaiyilen_> heh

<kaiyilen_> okay

<kaiyilen_> i found out how to view the list of users

<kaiyilen_> and i found out how to show the list of databases

<kaiyilen_> how do i display the list of databases and the users that can access them?

<SubWolf> Heh.

<SubWolf> SELECT Host, Db, User FROM mysql.db;

<SubWolf> ?

<SubWolf> Theres further perms in the same table, like Select_priv;

<kaiyilen_> heh

<kaiyilen_> fantastic

<kaiyilen_> still doesnt work

<kaiyilen_> :)

<SubWolf> :P

<SubWolf> What doesn't work.

<SubWolf> Changed mysql perms?

<SubWolf> Might need to issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

<kaiyilen_> "please ensure that the db user has the ability to select, insert, delete, update, create, alter, drop, and index, on the cacti db.....

<kaiyilen_> mysql> grant all on db.* to root; should fix that though right?

<SubWolf> Hmmmm.

<SubWolf> Needs a host, and pass really.

<SubWolf> Ah, wrong way round.

<SubWolf> Sorry, had a glass of wine or two. :x

<kaiyilen_> i've use localhost

<kaiyilen_> uh oh :P

<SubWolf> GRANT ALL ON (dbname).* TO db@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

<SubWolf> Ah.

<kaiyilen_> i've done that bit

<kaiyilen_> it also asks me to try entering in "mysql -u cactisuer -p cacti < cacti.sql" done that and it gives me the same problem

<SubWolf> mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cacti';

<SubWolf> Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)

<SubWolf> mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

<SubWolf> Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

<SubWolf> subwolf@subwolf-dapper:~$ mysql -u cactiuser -p

<SubWolf> Enter password:

<SubWolf> Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

<SubWolf> Your MySQL connection id is 31 to server version: 4.1.15-Debian_1ubuntu5-log

<SubWolf> Need to change my hostname, this is edgy. :x

<kaiyilen_> i need to get a usb to seriel adabtor

<kaiyilen_> adabtor

<kaiyilen_> lol

<SubWolf> Heh. I have one, actually.

<kaiyilen_> i need my own

<SubWolf> Right, was thinking send it to you, not like I need it.

<SubWolf> Got it for free from my last job.

<kaiyilen_> keeeeeep it

<kaiyilen_> never know

<SubWolf> Ok. :)

<kaiyilen_> maybe you'll get stuck with it

<kaiyilen_> i'll pick one up next time i go pillage compusa

<SubWolf> Hee

<SubWolf> PayPal's written in C++

<SubWolf> Nice error on the developer site...

<SubWolf> Assertion Failure: "pin != NULL" File: /x/sbuilds/x/builds/live-430_int_257979_rebuild59/vobs/all/devscr/main.cpp Func: main Line: 52 Backtrace: a6b3ae9 a6b3a79 807c14e 8064ae6 40d819cb 8064921

<kaiyilen_> donno what any of that means :)

<SubWolf> Heh, the main thing is "main.cpp"

<kaiyilen_> yeah

<SubWolf> Helluva file structure though.

<SubWolf> Guess they keep all the previous builds on hand.

<kaiyilen_> thats a good thing from what i know

<SubWolf> Using SVN currently, keeps revisions internal.

<kaiyilen_> how do you know if they're using SVN?

<SubWolf> Hard to tell, they might be keeping different branches exported locally.

<kaiyilen_> you think its good or bad that they're writing it in cpp?

<SubWolf> Hmmmmmmm, not bad.

<SubWolf> More potential for buffer overflow exploits though.

<kaiyilen_> what would have been a good language to write it in?

<SubWolf> Oh, too many choices. :x

<kaiyilen_> hmm..

<kaiyilen_> i suddenly relized how select host, db, user from mysql.db; works :P

<SubWolf> Hee

<SubWolf> Listening to the eels.

<kaiyilen_> feel silly for not relizing it sooner

<kaiyilen_> eels

<SubWolf> http://blogshares.com/rob/mp3/01%20-%20Eels%20-%20Novocaine%20for%20the%20Soul.mp3

<kaiyilen_> pleasent song

<SubWolf> I find them very depressing usually, just not now 'cause of alcohol.

<kaiyilen_> alcohol is a depressent...if you're drinking it and you're not depressed you could be doing some thing wrong

<kaiyilen_> lol

<SubWolf> LOL

<SubWolf> I don't react in the usual ways to drugs. :)

<SubWolf> Well, apart from some of the harder ones anyway.

<kaiyilen_> diff. for every one

<SubWolf> Weed puts me to sleep.

<kaiyilen_> i wander how i react to drugs

<SubWolf> You don't wanna find out. ;-)

<kaiyilen_> song reminds me why i dont listen to music with lyrics in it

<SubWolf> Believe me, wish I'd never smoked cigarettes at 17, or Crystal at 25.

<SubWolf> Awww.

<SubWolf> I'd say 40% of tunes I listen to have no vocals.

<kaiyilen_> some of the songs i have have vocals but its normally one line like "this will make you freak" or some thing

<SubWolf> Hee.

<SubWolf> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp5OxEzxuSg

<kaiyilen_> yup

<kaiyilen_> that just about sums it up

<kaiyilen_> that guys damn good i think

<vanny> wenas

<kaiyilen_> a winner is you?

<vanny> a big one =P

<SubWolf> Yes, he is.

<SubWolf> I love drum'n'bass.

<SubWolf> More into progressive house than anything, but like a lotta genres.

<kaiyilen_> i cant really figure out what i'm mostly into

<SubWolf> http://www.neave.tv/#spoon

<SubWolf> LMAO

<SubWolf> I like all genres mostly, http://www.neave.tv/#prefuse_biters for example

<kaiyilen_> old by classic

<SubWolf> "If you see a sucker cut 'em, don't like perpetrators."

<SubWolf> http://www.neave.tv/#ed_harcourt_dog is great

<kaiyilen_> i dont understand why i'm still here

<kaiyilen_> i'm off

<SubWolf> Hee
