Changing UNIX System Access Permissions
You can use the uchmod command from a client computer to change the UNIX system
access permissions for files and directories.
With the uchmod command, you enter only the access permissions you want to change.
You do not have to enter all of the permission characters. For example, to change the write
permission on a file named
budget so that it cannot be modified, you would enter the
following command:
uchmod -w budget
11.3.1.7
Maintaining Permissions for Specific Files
Some programs, such as Microsoft Word, maintain temporary files by renaming the source
file to a temporary name. Then, when the user saves the file, these programs create a new
file with the name of the source file. The temporary file is then deleted.
The permissions that have been assigned to a specific file are not assigned to the new file
which has the same file name. These permissions apply only to the original file which was
renamed to the temporary file name and then deleted. The updated file is treated as a
completely new file by Advanced Server which means it inherits the permissions of the
directory in which it resides.
Files that are likely to go through this kind of updating process should be maintained in
directories that have the permissions you want these files to inherit.
