Admin issues (chmod) on a Rocky 9 Linux box... logged in as root.
by stevephares from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FRH2)
My first post.
I have check forums... Virtual & Cloud / Desktop & Server, no posts seemed to have my answer, so I am posting this in General. Please move this to the proper forum at your convnince. Thank You in advance.
I am not an newbie. My first Unix/*nix was Santa Cruz Operating Systems some #of years ago but I am still perplexed.
I am hard logged in as root (uid=0, gid=0) on a Rocky 9 Linux Box.
I am attempting to perform a simple chmod on a "the_file".bundle file. No success.
"the_file" is actually...
VWware-Workstation-Full-17.0.2-21581411.x86_64.bundle
It's just easier to type "the_file"
My command line actions so for are as thus
# mnt /dev/sda1 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# chmod 744 "the_file"
No error message thrown.
but the following #ls -l
shows
# -rw-r--r-- root root time/date stamp "the_file"
No execute bit set.
I have also copied "the_file" from the /mnt mount point to the actual hard drive. Same results so I don't belive it is an issue with the USB stick.
Perhaps, but I doubt it, could it be because it is a .bundle file or it Vmware??? file.
It should not. To the OS it's just another file. I an still perplexed.
Any Input, insight or advice would be Greatly welcomed.
Thank You
Steven
