[HELP NEEDED] Unable to figure out directory permissions
(infosec.pub)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Chatgpt hope it helps looks like the permissions and ownership setup in your CONTAINERFILE might have a minor issue. Specifically, the chmod command you're using might not be setting the directory permissions correctly. Directories usually need execute permissions for traversal. Here’s a refined version of your CONTAINERFILE to ensure the bind user has the correct permissions:FROM debian
ENV LC_ALL C.UTF-8
Update and upgrade system
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Install BIND 9 and sudo (for debugging if needed)
RUN apt-get install -y bind9 bind9-dnsutils bind9-libs bind9-utils sudo
Configure permissions for BIND directories
RUN mkdir -p /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind RUN chmod 770 /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
Create and configure log files
RUN touch /var/log/bind/default.log /var/log/bind/update_debug.log /var/log/bind/security_info.log /var/log/bind/bind.log RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/log/bind RUN chmod 660 /var/log/bind/*.log
Define volumes
VOLUME ["/etc/bind", "/var/cache/bind", "/var/lib/bind", "/var/log/bind"]
Set the entrypoint to the named executable
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/named"]
Set the default command arguments for the named executable
CMD ["-g"]Changes Made:Directory Permissions: Changed the permissions of the directories to 770 to ensure that the bind user can read, write, and execute (necessary for accessing the directory).Log File Permissions: Adjusted the log file permissions to 660 to ensure that only the bind user (and group, if applicable) can read and write.Explanation:chmod 770: Grants read, write, and execute permissions to the owner and the group. The execute permission is necessary for directories so that users can access their contents.chmod 660: Grants read and write permissions to the owner and the group for the log files, which is typically sufficient.Give this updated CONTAINERFILE a try and see if it resolves the permissions issue you're encountering
The very brief summary: You need 7 perms on directories to write to them. So, 774, 770, or what have you for user/group perms.
Thanks I changed it to
chmod 755
and it worked
