Noob Alert!!!! How do I see my user groups in root?

[codman1004]

I'm using centos 5.6. I would like to...

See users
see user groups
add permisions

And thats it. The permisions should allow the user not to be able to cd .. back into the root directory.

Thanks

Ya I probly should of put this under red hat, but its also a noobie question.

Hi

Try this for groups "cat /etc/groups".
Try "ls -la /home/" for users.
Check the chmod command.

system-config-users will let you see your users and their group memberships in a gui. Preventing them from doing cd .. or cd / would require putting them in a chroot jail. Changing permissions such that they couldn't traverse / would prevent them from logging in, as they would neither be able to access their home folders, nor any executables, including shells.

Ok So know how do I change the permissions for the user. Would you recamend using rbash. I'm familiar with it. Our school uses it. But they run centos 6 I believe. Whats the difference betweent centos 6 and centos 5.6?


Thanks

centos 6 minus centos 5.6 is centos 0.4

For command functionality, CentOS 5.6 is pretty much the same as 6.

Haze mentioned the chmod command - that is probably what you want.

to see how to use it:

tom@owl ~ $ man chmod

You probably already know that this works for nearly any Linux command.

I would try it out on something that doesn't really matter. Maybe make a file called test and try some chmod commands on it.

There is also chown:

tom@owl ~ $ man chown

to see how that works etc ... pay attention to the "see also" at the end of each man page
