Hello to Everyone, Can some one tell me why I am getting a permission denied when trying to edit /etc/network/interfaces This the stable release of Debian/linux version 3.1r0a "sarge" following this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge I am logged in as root just in case anyone is wondering.
Re: command typed ls-/etc/network/interfaces response -bash: ls-/etc/network/interfaces: N such file or directory
Re: I apologize not used to using forums at all. Will do better just please let me know in a nice way if I am making mistakes or anthing I could do better. command typed ls-/etc/network/interfaces response -bash: ls-/etc/network/interfaces: No such file or directory
RE: Permission Denied Oh man sorry. the return reply was -rw-r--r 1 root root 268 2005-09-11 12:32 /etc/network/interfaces was wondering about permissions however don't know enough about setting them. Know perl pretty well but rusty on unix commands. Interesting why root root if I am reading corectly the permission for this file 644 which is not good. Pulling out my hair and books again hmmm I see about the root root it means I am logged in as root user under the root. PS Thank you tremendously.
Hi, the permissions of /etc/network/interfaces are correct. Which editor do you use? Try vi on the commandline or an editor like pico or nano at the commandline.
Chmod #touch test #ls -al test -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 2005-09-11 16:17 test #chmod 777 test #ls -al test -rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 0 2005-09-11 16:17 test
RE: Thank you I assumed too much. Seems Edit in the tutorial means as in run editor. I did not type ee /etc/network/interfaces Thanks to everyone you folks are great. Yippee spins in chair
