Revision 1.20 - (view) (download) (as text) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Fri Jul 28 07:21:03 2006 UTC (17 years, 9 months ago) by eggert
Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: COREUTILS-6_0
Changes since 1.19: +36 -19 lines
Diff to previous 1.19
(Changing Special Mode Bits): Clarify u+s versus
a+s versus +s, and likewise for g+s.
(Numeric Modes): Bring back example of 0055 == 55.  4755 no
longer clears setgid bit on directories.
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): Numeric modes now affect setuid
and setgid on directories only if they set these bits.  This
is so that leading 0 has no effect on numeric modes.

Diff to previous 1.18
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): Explain that this is a
GNU extension, and that other systems behave differently here.

Changes since 1.17: +28 -26 lines
Diff to previous 1.17
(Mode Structure, Symbolic Modes, Numeric Modes): Be more careful
about distinguishing file mode bits from permissions bits,
and about execute versus search permission.  The FreeBSD command
is chflags, not chrflags.


Revision 1.17 - (view) (download) (as text) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Sat Jul 22 23:42:19 2006 UTC (17 years, 9 months ago) by eggert

Changes since 1.16: +1 -1 lines
Diff to previous 1.16
(Mode Structure): The restricted deletion flag
restricts only unprivileged users.

Mon Jul 17 03:06:25 2006 UTC (17 years, 9 months ago) by eggert
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.15: +75 -17 lines
Diff to previous 1.15
(Mode Structure): Modernize the explanation of the
setuid and setgid bits on directories.
(Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g
for s.  Cross reference to new node.
(Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't
true any more.  Mention new node.
4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx.
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node.

Diff to previous 1.11
(Mode Structure, Changing Special Permissions):
(Conditional Executability, Numeric Modes):
These days the sticky bit is more often uses as the restricted
deletion flag, so modernize the discussion about this.
(Mode Structure): Linux/GNU -> GNU/Linux.
(Symbolic Modes): Don't imply that "+ur" or "u" is valid.
(Setting Permissions): Don't imply that "+t" is invalid.
Use "rwx" rather than the less-common "rxw" in an example.
(Copying Permissions): Say that ugo is a replacement for
a string of the other letters.  Add spaces around examples.
Use "set-user-ID" rather than "set user ID" to avoid ambiguity.
Use "+t" rather than "o+t", since POSIX doesn't specify the latter.
Mention which combinations are portable and which are GNU.
(Numeric Modes): Don't imply they aren't portable; they are
nowadays.

Standardize on "file system" rather
than "filesystem", as POSIX prefers it with a space.

Changes since 1.9: +34 -2 lines
Diff to previous 1.9
(Mode Structure): Mention filesystem-specific
permissions and that mounting a filesystem as read-only may
override actual file permissions.  Use @command instead
of @code for program names.

Changes since 1.5: +2 -12 lines

(Changing Special Permissions): Remove this statement:
`a' in the USERS part of a symbolic mode does not cause the special
permissions to be affected...  It doesn't reflect what the code does
and isn't required by POSIX.  Reported by aldomel@ix.netcom.com via
Mike Stone.
