.ssh – Permission

/ Daemon /

If any of the files (or directories leading up to the files) have permissions set too loose, the connection will fail. Permission errors may be logged on the server side by the sshd(8) daemon.

Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory …

In most cases, potential permission problems can be solved by restricting down access to the SSH configuration files. Permission changes to the home directory might be needed, though restricted rights may break other things.

server$ chmod go-w ~/
server$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
server$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Asterisk – permissions and ownership for the socket console

/ Daemon /

If you need to give asterisk operational permission to a simple user on linux system, first of all you can add it on asterisk group, then you can edit “asterisk.conf” usually on /etc/asterisk/ and give rwx permission to asterisk group like this (add if they don’t exist):

[files]
astctlpermissions => 770
astctlowner => asterisk
astctlgroup => asterisk
astctl => /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl

Restart asterisk to apply changes.

Common error (wrong socket permission):
