DPKG-STATOVERRIDE !!!DPKG-STATOVERRIDE NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS FILES SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME dpkg-statoverride -- override ownership and mode of files !!SYNOPSIS __dpkg-statoverride__ [[options] --add ______ dpkg-statoverride__ [[options] --remove ''''__ dpkg-statoverride__ [[options] --list ''[['' !!DESCRIPTION `__stat overrides__' are a way to tell dpkg to use a different owner or mode for a file when a package is installed. (note: I use the word `file' here, but in reality this can be any filesystem object that dpkg handles, including directories, devices, etc.). This can be used to force programs that are normall setuid to be install without a setuid flag, or only executable by a certain group. __dpkg-statoverride__ is a utility to manage the list of stat overrides. It has three basic functions: adding, removing and listing overrides. !!OPTIONS ''--add '' Add an override for ____. ____ does not need to exist when this command is used; the override will be stored and used later. Users and groups can be specified by their name (for example __root__ or __nobody__), or by their number by prepending the number with a `__#__' (for example __#0__ or __#65534__). ''--remove '' Remove an override for ____. ''--list [['' List all overrides. If a glob pattern is specified restrict the output to overrides which match the glob. If there are no overrides or none match the glob __dpkg-statoverride__ will exit with an exitcode of 1. ''--force'' Force an action, even if a sanity check would otherwise prohibit it. This is necessary to override an existing override. ''--update'' Immediately try to change the file to the new owner and mode if it exists. This is only done for ''--add''. ''--quiet'' Be less verbose about what we do. ''--help'' Show version, copyright and usage information. ''--admindir'' Change the directory of the dpkg database where the statoverride file is also stored. Defaults to /var/lib/dpkg. !!FILES ''/var/lib/dpkg/statoverride'' File which contains the current list of stat overrides of the system. It is located in the dpkg administration directory, along with other files important to dpkg, such as `status' or `available'. Note: dpkg-statoverride preserves the old copy of this file, with extension !!SEE ALSO dpkg(8) !!AUTHOR Copyright 2000 Wichert Akkerman This is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or later for copying conditions.
