How can I set the "directory" bit in unix permissions -
i did a:
chmod 7777 mydata
on mydata directory. no-longer recognised unix (cygwin actually) directory:
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 administrators domain users 63 apr 4 10:19 mydata
how can set first character being "d"?
you can't. d
isn't permission, it's attribute. you'll see '-' or 'd' you'll see selection of others if browse /dev
. i'm bit surprised you've managed turn directory file in way. entirely sure mydata
directory start off with? of 4 modes you've set, should have got file (or directory!) with:
- user/group/other read/write/execute
- setgid, setuid, , 'sticky' bit set.
chmod
shouldn't able turn directory flat file, unless you've found really strange bug.
