configure fedora 15

[antonio_helder2002]

I am having a few security issues with fedora15. they are like i cannot modify any folder in orher partitions of my HDD unless i am a root user. i have tried the GUI approach bt it doesnt help. there are more than a few hundred folders with thousands of files in total. tell me a way so that i can change permissions for one drive at once.

As root, you can change the permissions on a file system using "chmod -R" which will walk through the entire specified directory tree. Example:

chmod -R /home/somedirectory ugo+rw

That will make all files and sub-directories read+write for all users under /home/somedirectory, as well as /home/somedirectory.

I mane a shell script
sudo chown -R <username> *

kept it in drives and double click
and it all changed

Caveat sysadmin! Remember, these files/directories are now accessible by EVERYONE!

As I am the only user and do not have access to internet all day so it is absolutely fine for me
