Sorry for this very basic question but I cannot find any answer.
I've got a user cldprod which is in primary group 'cldprod' and in secondary group 'jboss'
I've got another user jboss which is in primary group 'jboss'.
'cldprod' user cannot removes file with those permissions :
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jboss jboss xxxxxx
rm: cannot remove `xxxxx': Permission denied
I don't understand why (as 'cldprod' is in group 'jboss' and 'jboss' has write permission on the file).
My /etc/passwd :
cldprod:x:500:501:xxxxxx
jboss:x:501:502:xxxxxx
My /etc/group :
cldprod:x:501:
jboss:x:502:cldprod
My infos :
$ uname -a
Linux ip-xxxxx xxxxxx.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 6 18:04:41 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

To remove a file (directory entry), you need write permissions on the directory containing it, not the file itself.
Write permission on the file only allows you to modify the content of the file and its metadata, such as permissions.

I am trying to unzip a password-protected zip folder in Windows 11 OS. I have the password, however when I clicked 'Extract Al...' and confirmed the extract location, it didn't ask me for the password; instead, it showed the following error:
and this happened for every single file in the zipped folder.
What should I do?
try 7-zip. Or check the file if its corrupt via checksum, if possible.

i would like to know how can I get the path to sources.list on a modified UNIX which have apt and other base packages on it , like gpg and sudo. Does apt can identify the path to sources.list ?
He is using it , so he should be able to locate it, right ?
I don't know if this is the best way, but apt-config dump will show all of apt's configuration variables. On my system, the Dir::Etc variable gives the directory where the file is located, and Dir::Etc::sourcelist gives its name.
You can also read in the apt-config man page about the shell option which may be more useful for processing this data in a program.

I want to find all the files a piece of software has left in my system.
In the terminal I type:
$ find /Users -name software -print
And every time find tries to look into a folder within the Library directory, Terminal returns "operation not permitted".
So I tried:
$ sudo find /Users -name software -print
Same result
So I finally enabled super user, logged in with command su, entered my command: same result.
1 - I do not understand why even the super user is not allowed to search the library.
2 - what is the work around?
Thanks for your help
I have found the answer.
Terminal needs to be added in the System Preferences/Security and Privacy/ full disk access!

I've got an ASW Host running Ubuntu and I don't see an etc folder such as what is referenced in these docs.
Why is that?
I also don't see a /usr/local/bin folder
When I do an ls -a I get:
You are probably in /home/ubuntu.
Type
sudo ls -a /etc
Your currently in your home folder. You need to do ls -l / or first cd / and than ls -l. The /-folder is the root folder of a Linux system.
More information: Linux file system structure
You are looking in your HOME directory.
Try to look in /etc !

I have a script with permissions -rws--s--x
When i run the script from an user called "user1" the process always run as root.
What is the reason the script run as root and not run as the user who starts the script?
It's because of the "s" bit (setuid permission) - it escalates the process to run as the permission of the owner of the executable (often root) for when a regular user doesn't have permissions to do some system operation. Those are generally to be avoided because if they there's a bug/exploit on it someone can easily get root access to your system. More details here
