<0> anyone knows a program which i can use to re-encode avi files? to make the resolution smaller etc, smaller filesize
<0> preferably a program that runs on both linux and windows...
<1> can anyone help me set permissions on a folder for specific users?
<0> ebcdic: what else could you possibly need beside chown and chmod?
<1> aphexer: chown can only change the owner of the file, and chmod can only set user, group and other access
<2> Hi
<1> aphexer: i need to set permissions for a specific user, not the owner (i.e. me)
<2> What distro?
<1> Herald: debian
<2> You want to set permissions for a specific user, right?
<1> Herald: yes
<2> easiest way to do it, would be to create a new group, put him in it, and deny access to that group.
<0> and again only use chown and chmod ;)
<2> I haven't used chown for a while though, let me pull out my unix manual, it had fairly good coverage of the chmod and chown utilities
<0> otherwise you could use the acl's, but for this easy case that's probably way too overkill :)
<1> Herald: how can i create a new group if i don't have root?
<2> Oh, you don't have root....
<1> Herald: no this is a multiuser system and i'm one measly user
<2> Well, you can't do anything with file ownerships, unless you own them, if your not root.
<2> If you own them though....
<1> Herald: i own the file now, it's in my home directory, i want to allow specific users to read/write the file
<2> Say you want to lock out a user named "debbie"
<2> navigate to the directory
<2> and use this command
<0> chmod 700 file ?
<2> chmod debbie -rwx
<2> that should do it
<1> Herald: invalid string mode is the error i get
<2> oops
<0> of course
<2> I need to rephrase the command....
<0> it's not possible to do that
<2> isn't it?
<1> aphexer: why not, i can do it in windows, is windows superior to UNIX?
<2> In some ways, yes.
<0> ebcdic: chmod 700 file will give only you (and root of course) access to the file, so any other user (including debbie) won't have access
<2> But, as were dealing with security, Unix is better for that.
<1> aphexer: so how can i give a specific user access to a file?
<0> ebcdic: it's sure all possible in unix, but since this is a newbie help channel i'm not going to discuss advanced topics :)
<0> using acls
<1> aphexer: only some filesystems support that
<2> Aphexer, can't you specify individual users read,write, and execute permissions?
<2> oh, the command line should be: chmod debbie -rwx *
<2> I think
<1> Herald: that doesn't work either
<0> Herald: man chmod ;)
<2> cause, the syntax of chmod is "chmod who[operation][permission] file-list"
<0> hm?
<0> chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
<0> Herald: what kind of os are you running?
<2> Suse linux
<3> is there a simple way to monitor or get all usb traffic ?
<2> But, as I said earlier I just pulled out a unix manual, to look at the chmod and chown utilities
<2> snort
<2> oh, usb traffic
<3> yep
<2> google is your friend.
<3> I want to debug a device
<4> is your friend: http://www.quizyourfriends.com/
<2> what?
<3> see all what is going in and out from it
<2> um
<2> lemee google it
<2> It soulds like a specialized packet sniffer
<3> I looked for usbmon kernel module, in conjunction with debugfs, but cant find something recent
<5> hi, im doing a comparision of cross platform software running speeds on linux and windows
<5> how do i do time ./a.out on windows :) ?
<3> cygwin
<2> Google "Monitor USB Traffic"
<4> Monitor USB Traffic: http://www.lvr.com/usb.htm
<3> on linux
<3> google: "Monitor USB traffic on linux kernel module"
<4> Monitor USB traffic on linux kernel module: http://orinoco-usb.alioth.debian.org/
<5> cygwin ?
<3> google: "Monitor USB on linux kernel module"
<4> Monitor USB on linux kernel module: http://www.kernelnewbies.org/documents/kdoc/kernel-api/linuxkernelapi.html
<5> but those utilities arent really native, are they
<0> ebcdic: i never had the need for acls, and i've been through some complex permission stuff already :)
<5> isnt that going to add some overhead?
<2> http://www.findapp.com/fMgmt/PDetails.aspx?PID=17775
<2> You'll have to pay though.....
<0> ebcdic: some trick that usually works is put the people who need access to your files in one group, and give the group access to your files, and give all others no access
<3> google: usbmon
<4> usbmon: http://www.hhdsoftware.com/usbmon.html
<3> google: "usbmon linux"
<4> usbmon linux: http://lwn.net/2001/0524/a/usbmon.php3
<2> how's that work
<3> google: "usbmon linux 2006"
<4> usbmon linux 2006: http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
<2> It takes the "I'm feeling luck result"?
<3> google: "usbmon linux 2.6.16"
<4> usbmon linux 2.6.16: http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
<3> no luck
<2> Does anyone know of software for burning mp3's to a dvd?
<3> none of those were recent stuff
<3> k3b
<3> doesnt it ?
<5> k3b is garbage
<5> it takes 30 mins to make dvd iso
<5> and 5 mins to burn one
<6> main_: make a dvd.iso from what?
<5> k3b is just a frontend.
<2> But, something that will play mp3's in a dvd player.
<3> cdrecord
<6> Herald: just burn mp3's as data ...
<3> mkisofs
<3> wtf
<2> Will they play?
<5> so, why cant the damn thing just burn on the fly, like nero does?
<6> Herald: thats what it is
<5> why go through this unnecessary step of making an iso
<6> he doesnt need to make an iso
<6> drag and drop the mp3's in k3b, then burn
<6> done...
<2> Ouch, I dropped them on my toe....ok, that was really lame
<5> k3b makes an iso.
<5> then burns it.
<7> normal way is to make an .iso, then just burn that .iso on cd
<7> example
<7> cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=/dev/cdrom -driveropts=burnfree bla.iso
<6> even on cmd line it can done on the fly
<5> shevegen: typing a line this long is certainly easier and faster than rightclicking once
<5> *once*
<7> its more than just rightclicking once
<7> plus you need kde stuff for k3b
<7> i find it better to use scripts +commandline but we can argue about that all day probably :-)
<5> it is, if your desktop enviroment is setup properly
<5> i have a service menu in konqueror that burns with one click
<5> i select a directory, rightclick, and it asks me to put the disk in and hit enter
<7> aha
<5> so it is a script, sort of :)
<7> sounds quite useful
<5> also can burn on a hot-key :))
<7> hmm
<7> how difficult is it to do that?
<5> why is it supposed to be difficult?
<7> lets simplify
<7> how do you add this to konqueror? or is it built in?
<5> there is a cd burning bar or smth
<5> but i dont use it
<5> http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html
<7> cool
<5> here is a tutorial on creating service menus
<5> it basically consists of creating a simple text file
<5> + your script that will actually do the burning
<5> i use kdialog for warning to put the CD in
<2> Does anyone know, how I could get dvd shrink onto my linux box?
<2> I have it installed on another computer, (windows 2000)
<2> And I have a large external hard drive for transfering data...
<2> Any ideas?
<5> to rip dvds?
