[64studio-devel] [SOLVED] HDD: Write permissions for ordinary user [SOLVED]

[R.Wolff]

Thanks to all who tried to help me here. Special thanks go out
to Michael Pacey, as it was his hints which brought me the final results.

I've added the following lines to /etc/udev/permissions.rules (although 
I guess that this is really, really not OK to do so):

# hd devices
KERNEL=="hda5"          MODE="0777"     GROUP="funkster"
KERNEL=="hdc5"          MODE="0777"     GROUP="funkster"
KERNEL=="hde5"          MODE="0777"     GROUP="funkster"
KERNEL=="hdg5"          MODE="0777"     GROUP="funkster

Now that has changed the owner of my drives to my username (funkster),
root has become the group of them without apparent write permissions 
when logged in as user. Still, I'm able to create dirs/files no problem.


Haven't changed the entries in 'fstab', since the drives were already 
mounted.

This whole permission thing and setup routines etc is just so terribly 
different from Windows.
It seems that EVERYTHING is handled through scripts and such.
Does something like the Windows registry exist for GNU/Linux? Or is all 
handled through those little snippets of code here and there?
I've just so much to learn, so back to the books I guess.
The other problems are getting solved petit a petit.

Cheers
Raphael ;)
