comment How do I delete a file whose name begins with “-” (hyphen a.k.a. dash or minus)?
@KeithThompson -- is a feature of most GNU tools, so it won't work on most non-GNU ("non-Linux") Unix'es (e.g. BSD variants or some embedded systems)

comment Daemon file access denied while it shouldn't
Good explanation. I had thought of ACL but the filesystems currently doesn't have it enabled so I guess I'll start working on that.

comment 64-bit Linux doesn't recognize my RAM between 3 and 32 GB
I would be interested in what a debian live (/ubuntu, since it's the next closest thing) boot would tell, since that can be used to easily distinguish between problems with your hardware and problems with your configuration.

comment Get rights for specific user on file/dir
If the calling user doesn't have access it should return false or an error (I'd like to use it as an additional layer of access control, the service can't even serve anything it doesn't have access to)

I had thought of this, but doesn't this create an enormous security leak? The executing user would need sudo rights...
