Properties of storage directory

I have a strong feeling that something is messed up with my B2 /home/storage directory. I am the culprit
Can you please help me with answers:
a) What is initially content of this directory
b) Who is owner of /home/storage/, /home/storage/music and /home/storage/pictures
c) What permission must have /home/storage/, /home/storage/music and /home/storage/pictures
When I type ls -al /home/ and ls -al /home/storage I get:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root users 4096 2010-12-19 19:18 storage
drwxrwxrwx 2 someuser users 4096 2011-12-07 15:01 music
drwxrwxrwt 3 someuser users 4096 2011-12-03 11:13 pictures
Is it O.K.?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manib,
You should probably describe your problem here rather than ask for the "normal" settings.
I have probably messed up the permission/ownership settings on my Bubba2 as well, but as it is no longer in regular use, I don't know if it caused a problem or not.
Here goes...
Code: Select all
someuser@bubba2:~$ ls -ld /home/storage && ls -ld /home/storage/*
drwxr-xr-x 8 someuser users 4096 2010-09-16 09:39 /home/storage
drwxr-xr-x 2 someuser users 4096 2010-06-02 16:21 /home/storage/Android
drwxr-xr-x 4 someuser users 4096 2011-04-28 19:56 /home/storage/extern
drwxrwxrwt 4 someuser users 4096 2010-04-20 11:48 /home/storage/mounts
drwxrwxrwt 20 someuser users 4096 2010-08-07 12:25 /home/storage/music
drwxrwxrwt 2 someuser users 4096 2010-10-08 19:30 /home/storage/pictures
drwxrwxrwt 5 someuser users 4096 2010-02-21 00:01 /home/storage/video
Note the sticky bit (trailing t on the permissions). I remember modifying this specifically at one point in order to allow some kind of anonymous access to the server without write permissions. I think I just gave up/forgot about it, and the chmod/chown settings were just left there.
Here is B3:
Code: Select all
someuser@b3:~$ ls -ld /home/storage && ls -ld /home/storage/*
drwxrwsrwx 8 root users 4096 Dec 4 14:28 /home/storage
drwxr-xr-x 2 someuser users 4096 Jun 2 2010 /home/storage/Android
drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody users 4096 Dec 4 2010 /home/storage/extern
drwxrwxrwt 4 someuser users 4096 Apr 20 2010 /home/storage/mounts
drwxrwsrwx 21 nobody users 4096 Aug 15 22:24 /home/storage/music
drwxrwsrwx 2 nobody users 4096 Sep 13 2010 /home/storage/pictures
drwxrwsrwx 5 nobody users 4096 Dec 5 23:59 /home/storage/video
Notice that none have the sticky bit (except 'mounts' which I probably just replicated from the Bubba2. It is not a standard directory anyway...)
Cheers,
Cheeseboy
