Set minimal privileges on all files and directories under ~/staging. Everything is owned by the root user and the root group. Permissions are read-write for the owner and read-only for the group. Exceptions to the blanket permissions are handled case by case.

bash# cd ~/staging
bash# chown -R 0:0 ~/staging/*
bash# chmod -R 640 ~/staging/*

Set execute permission on all directories. (Note the capital "X")

bash# chmod -R +X ~/staging/*

Files in /bin are read and execute for all, but su is an exception.

bash# chmod 755 ~/staging/bin/*
bash# chmod 4750 ~/staging/bin/su

Files in /dev have various permissions. Disk devices should be accessible to administrators only. Other files like /dev/null should have full privileges granted to everyone.

bash# chmod 660 ~/staging/dev/fd0 dev/ram0
bash# chmod 666 ~/staging/dev/null
bash# chmod 622 ~/staging/dev/console
bash# chmod 600 ~/staging/dev/initctl
bash# chmod 622 ~/staging/dev/tty
bash# chmod 622 ~/staging/dev/tty?

The passwd and group files must be world readable.

bash# chmod 644 ~/staging/etc/passwd
bash# chmod 644 ~/staging/etc/group

The scripts in /etc/init.d are read and execute for administrators.

bash# chmod 750 ~/staging/etc/init.d/*

Libraries need read and execute permissions for everyone.

bash# chmod 755 ~/staging/lib/*

Only root should have access to the /root directory.

bash# chmod 700 ~/staging/root

Make files in /sbin read and execute for administrators.

bash# chmod 750 ~/staging/sbin/*

Temp should be read-write for all with the sticky bit set.

bash# chmod 1777 ~/staging/tmp

bash# cd /
bash# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram7 bs=1k count=4096
bash# mke2fs -m0 /dev/ram7 4096

Insert the diskette labeled "root disk" into drive fd0.
