I need to allow members of the group 'ftpusers' to be able to change permissions on all objects inside a certain directory. I was looking into how to do it but all I have found is how to do it on BSD:
chmod +a "ftpgroup allow writesecurity" /some/dir
I need exactly the same thing but for Debian/GNU.
Thanks
I was a big time user of Windows 7 untill switched to Windows 8. I had customized the login screen for Windows 7 and Microsoft had a nice Registry switch to do so. I am looking for a similar way to change background of the start screen and also the login screen where you answer the password without using any 3rd party software
Basically I want to know if there's some hidden toggle for that in the OS somewhere and that anyone is aware of it.
I recently bought a second monitor and hooked it to my laptop. I like to put the monitor in portrait mode when coding and i can do this with igfx but i was wondering if there was a way to make a keyboard shortcut that will rotate my display 270 degrees and change my wallpaper to one that fits the 1050 X 1680 portrait resolution, and then have a key that rotates back to normal and resets my wallpaper? I have googled to no avail, I look forward to your answers.
Thanks in advance,

Is it possible to change the port used by RD Gateway. I know its integrated with IIS and it uses port 443 (SSL) so i've changed my IIS bindings to use a different port for SSL communications. however, I can't find any way to specify the RD gateway port in the RD client. Has anyone ever done this before?
Reason I'm asking is, my ISP just recently blocked port 80 and 443 so I am forced to use another port.
An old junk mail filter program I used to use created a junk email folder. When I moved from Outlook 2003 to 2007, Outlook created a new folder called Junk Email1. Now, after our move to a new Exchange server, I now have a "Junk Email" folder and the existing "Junk Email1" folder. Is there a way to change the default Outlook Junk Email folder back to "Junk Email"?
What options are available to load balance web service traffic on Linux with the ability to add or remove servers from the server pool without restarting the load balancer?
This post:
http://serverfault.com/questions/71437/mod-proxy-change-without-restart
looks like a very promising way to switch between two servers, but I don't know enough about mod_proxy and mod_rewrite to understand how/if I can use an external file to specify the BalancerMember entries for a section.
Are there other open source load balancers that support reconfiguration without restart?
I have installed MAMP on OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to change the default path for PHP.
I tried both of the answers on this question, and on this question, and in this thread but when I'm trying which php in Terminal I still get /usr/bin/php.
I'm starting to get the impression that I'm doing something profoundly wrong, so any idea about what that might be, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I would like to be able to change the default CSS used by chrome, such as removing the underlines for links, etc. However, I cannot find the default CSS file used by Chrome. Does anyone know where it is?
I'm trying to create a local user on a new Ubuntu box. I'm unable to change the password, and I keep getting the error below. The user gets added to the shadow file, but I can't get it to set a password. How can this be fixed?
admin@theserver:~$ sudo useradd jamz
[sudo] password for admin:
admin@theserver:~$ sudo passwd jamz
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
admin@theserver:~$
Recently I changed a friend's OS from a really virus filled windows 7 to Ubuntu ..but kept changing os's because lsusb wouldn't detect the camera.But after coming back to windows, the camera wasn't detected, though I must point out the device driver for the camera was never found.
The Sony 'technician' told me that that since the dev-manager of windows 7 couldn't detect the camera , irregardless of whether the device driver was installed, the software change must have damaged the hardware.
I was wondering if there is any truth to it.
I suppose that my main Linux user account password serves as my SSH password as well. Is there a way I can modify this? As it turns out, I'd like to have a REALLY secure SSH password for obvious reasons, but a less secure local password, as it makes typing in passwords a heck of a lot easier on a machine. Is there a way I can change my account password in SSH without changing my Linux user password?
I am trying to change the task bar color of my WIndows 7 to black.. something similar to Vista. Is it possible without installing any 3rd party app? Many thanks!!
We are migrating some servers, and we need tp change our Munin server. Most of the Munin nodes are not changed, and we would want to keep track of the historical data, if possible.
I can set up a new Munin server, but I like to know if it's possible to transfer the old data to the new server, and how to do it.
My laptop (Acer Aspire 6930) has a hotkey to open the web browser. However, I just got Firefox and I was wondering how I can change the hotkey so that it opens Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
I already contacted Acer...they told me to phone them (at cost), which I would rather avoid since it's such a trivial matter.
I'm currently working in Spain for the week and am having to setup IIS on Windows Server 2003. However the box we've been given is in Spanish which makes it very hard for me to understand.
Is it possible to actually change the language in Server 2003?
Simple to explain: possibly not so simple to do.
In Gimp, I have a green button GIF image: it shades from dark green to light green, against a transparent background.
I would like to change it to blue, and keep the shading, so it shades from dark blue to light blue.
Anyone know how I can do this? Can't find an explanation by Googling!
Thanks.

I just bought a new macbook pro 15'. This is my first mac. I really hate the Apple font in dreamweaver or when I'm doing any kind of coding. I can't read it. I should buy glasses but in the mean time is there any way to change the font and font size of dreamweaver? Thanks.
I would like to customize the name of the tab in Tilda (I guess that it doesn't change anything from the Gnome-terminal's behavior), but I can't find the exact sequence ...
so far, I figured out that Bash does it when displaying my PS1 prompt:
echo $PS1
\[\e]0;HELLO\a\]\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\[\033[00m\]
I guess that \[\e]0;HELLO\a\] is responsible for the title to be set to 'HELLO',
but when I start
echo -ne "\[\e]0;HELLO WORLD\a\]"
only writes '[]'
what's wrong with my command ?
Is there a way to change password to value same as the previous password?
I know this is a security flaw, but would like to know however.

(current) UNIX password:
New UNIX password: -- here i typed same password
BAD PASSWORD: is too similar to the old one.
