I have two folders in /media that I created previously, /media/usb1 and /media/usb2. Tried to create a 3rd folder today and I'm getting permission denied, using both sudo and then logged in as root.

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea regarding what could be the problem here, i.e. why do I get "Permission denied"?

Code: [andreas@loony /tmp]$ ls -al total 40 drwxrwxrwt  4 root root  4096 Jul 14 10:28 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root root  4096 May 18 10:55 .. -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1696 Dec 17  2009 bar

Following this guide I was able to get my Samba share to mount on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. I can navigate the folders just fine. However I cannot create a directory nor create a file.

In Fedora 17, I'm trying to add a batch of users from a text file using the newusers command. I created a file named users.txt, located in root's home directory.

sudo mount.cifs //192.168.***.***/efile /mnt/efile -o user=domain\\username,pass=guest

That command works in console,, but I then have to put in my root password. Then in File Manager, when in /mnt/efile, I have to "open current directory as root" to copy files to efile directory.

Is there any way to cut down the steps, to auto-mount /mnt/cifs and auto-root, too?

Thanks, Jake

Hi:

I managed to order a new VPS account from linode

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with 'LAMP Stack' StackScript.

I notice the website directory is located in /srv/www/ and I thought this is quite strange.

How do I check if /srv/www/ is secure?

If I create a new directory or files in /srv/www/ (logged as root), what permission/user do I need to set?
