[688f954] | 37 | <para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
|
---|
| 38 | this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
|
---|
| 39 | changes are made—one to the home directory of user <systemitem
|
---|
| 40 | class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
|
---|
| 41 | temporary files.</para>
|
---|
[81fd230] | 42 |
|
---|
[688f954] | 43 | <para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
|
---|
| 44 | the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory—the
|
---|
| 45 | same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
|
---|
| 46 | second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
|
---|
| 47 | <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
|
---|
| 48 | class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
|
---|
| 49 | another user's files from them. The latter is prohibited by the so-called
|
---|
| 50 | <quote>sticky bit,</quote> the highest bit (1) in the 1777 bit mask.</para>

[688f954] | 52 | <note>
|
---|
| 53 | <para>Notice the two different constructions above for creating multiple
|
---|
| 54 | man directories: <command>install -d /usr/share/man/man{1..8}</command> and
|
---|
| 55 | <command>install -d /usr/local/share/man/man{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}</command>. The
|
---|
| 56 | first one is new since Bash 3.0. This new feature will help make repetitive
|
---|
| 57 | commands easier to type.</para>

[688f954] | 63 | <para>The directory tree is based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
|
---|
| 64 | (FHS) (available at <ulink url="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/"/>). In
|
---|
| 65 | addition to the tree created above, this standard stipulates the existence
|
---|
| 66 | of <filename class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and <filename
|
---|
| 67 | class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>. The FHS is not precise as to
|
---|
| 68 | the structure of the <filename class="directory">/usr/local/share</filename>
|
---|
| 69 | subdirectory, so we create only the directories that are needed. However,
|
---|
| 70 | feel free to create these directories if you prefer to conform more strictly
|
---|
| 71 | to the FHS.</para>
