hi. my problem is probably quite simple, but I have no clue of how to solve it. following this site's outstanding tutorials I set up a small debian server to run at home.ssh, apache and pure-ftpd are up and running really well. i obviously have root access but I created also a user account for my friends to come and design/compile their software on it (via ssh). the trouble is I can't make the gcc compiler to work for them - it seems the they don't have the rights to use it.the directory is chmodded 7 for the account so it shouldn't be a file output problem. this is when i try to compile it with the remote account: Code: tester@amoeba:~/ROMEO/C$ gcc -Wall -o LCS2b LCS2b.c /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file LCS2b: Permission denied collect2: ld returned 1 exit status and this is when the root's doing it: Code: amoeba:/home/tester/ROMEO/C# gcc -Wall -o LCS2b LCS2b.c amoeba:/home/tester/ROMEO/C# ls LCS2b LCS2b.c LCS2.c does anybody have a clue of how to fix this? tnx (and sorry for my shameful english)
Some things can only be done by root... A workaround might be to use sudo. Run Code: apt-get install sudo to install it. You have to create /etc/sudoers. That file specifies who is allowed to do what. Run Code: man sudo man sudoers to find out more.
