Unix Directory Permissions..

[AdamCoombs]

I have to mirror these permissions (see below)on another directory..
Im ok with everything but the T and the + at the end of it...
I know that normally a "t" is the sticky bit, but i though that was a lower case "t" not "T".

how do i set that and the +?

I current permissions on the dir are
drwxrwx--T
and i want it to look like...
drwxrwx--T+

cheers
Adam

Capital T in sticky bit means sticky bit on execute permissions off, Lowercas t has both stick bit and execute access. The + means you have an access control list set on this file. Type getfacl <dir> to see what is set. ACLs are quite a big topic see the getfacl setfacl man pages. Basically they provide an extra level of granularity for permissions allowing specific users and groups to access files.

PS. cp -pr dir1 dir2 will replicate the directory permissions (the -p flag) as it copies it.

To copy the permissions of one file to another (with or without an ACL list) you can use:

[tt]getfacl originalfile | setfacl -f - destinationfile[/tt]

The &quot;-&quot; tells setfacl to read the permissions from stdin.
