Hi all,
I'm trying to work out the optimal ownership and permissions for web
hosting, where the site owner (or their developers etc) need access to
install code, themes etc, and read logs.
I also generally prefer sites not to be able to write their own code - I
know the likes of WordPress don't n

A better (more general) one would be: getent passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}'

Have you checked?
The command
awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd
will display all the known users on your machine.
The commands 'ps aux' or top or htop
will show active users in the USER column.

I have just installed usbmount. It is great at handling my
memory stick, but I have a problem:
The memory stick contains, I believe a vfat file system.
When it is mounted with usbmount, the files on it appear
to belong to user:group = root:root . However, vfat does
not, I think, contain any user:

Hi,
How does dpkg handle the upgrade of a package, if file ownership und
access permissions of an installed file was changed manually? Does it
keep the modified state, asks me or just reinstall the old ownership and
access permissions?
The question arises, because I want to give some users of my
Did you receive any advice? (I read your mail about a month later)
About ownership problem: did you install on the client machine the ugidd
deamon (provided by the ugidd package).
This happens to work when you specify the option "map_daemon" for the
related exported files/dirs.
Maybe it will help

In Potato, I'm installing qt-2.0.1 from a tar.gz. After uncompressing,
unpacking and re-naming the directory 'qt', I checked its permissions
and found owner and group given as '508'. On a previous occasion,
when compiling some other software (forgotten what), I noticed its
owner and group was sho
uctant to do so. Currently I have lowered the
rsize and wsize variables that mount uses to mount the drive on other
machines (from 8192 to 4096) and although the number of incidents that the
drive stops responding has fallen a little, the problem has not gone away.

Hi all,
I just upgraded the package netstd v. 3.07-8 on my machine (potato) and it
turns out that it got installed with ownership "jose.jose" (my username)

the binaries.
