Hi, I am looking to change group ownership for the entire user paul's home folder, it's subdirectories and also all symlinks.

Thinkcentre-M57p:/home> ls -lah
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x   1   root root   14 Jan 21 18:18 .
drwxr-xr-x  1 root root  142 Jun  3  2021 ..
drwx------   1   deb  deb   318 Jan 21 15:12 deb
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul users 868 Jan 21 18:14 paul
paul@paul-Thinkcentre-M57p:/home>

Passing: chgrp -LR paul users

Is how I believe chgrp should be used in this case.

Does this look correct to you? If not why and is there a better command for this purpose?


-Best Regards



 






Thinkcentre-M57p:~> groups paul
paul : paul audio cdrom
