I have a new user masi in Raspbian Jessie. I want that it has access to /usr/bin/ etc wget. I did

sudo adduser masi sudo visudo root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL masi ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL % passwordless root access su masi passwd

As masi, I cannot do wget getting Permission denied, only as sudo wget now. The command ls -la /usr/bin/ gives user/group as root:root for all commands which is the problem. I think I should have root:wheel. I think this can be done by 

groupadd wheel sudo usermod -a -G wheel masi sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/*

I took the groupname wheel from my OS X. I am not sure if it is the right convention here for naming. I do not understand how Raspbian Jessie has beed designed. I only understand little Ubuntu.

I think the commands may not be sufficient because the thing is changing only one directory. I am setting up owncloud server with PostgeSQL-9.4 in Raspian as described here for older version.

How can you add a new user with sufficient righs for wget and others in working folders /usr/bin/ ... in Raspbian?

  • could you clarify whether you want user masi to have write access in /usr/bin directory, and add the output of wget to your original post? Commented May 31, 2016 at 13:58

You able to set

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/*

It's a little strangely that files in bin are not executable be default.

For example in my ubuntu:

$ ls -la /usr/bin/ ... rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14768 апр 15 01:19 zdump -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10384 янв 31 02:14 zeisstopnm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 206000 фев 24 17:31 zeitgeist-daemon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 131760 фев 24 17:31 zeitgeist-datahub -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 105752 фев 16 18:30 zenity ...
