if you want to change the permissions of a directory (file) you can use the following commands :

chown (Change Owner) chgrp (Change Group) chmod (Change Mode)

for the exactly syntax of chmod (be carefull with this) see man chmod

Normally you must be root to use chgrp / chown. This prevents unprivileged users from overwriting disk quotas. You must be the owner of a file / directory or superuser to use chmod. Jan
