How am I, a humble user, able to use programs like konsole that are owned by root?
I'm going to interpret your question a little different from James.
~> ls -l /opt/kde3/bin/konsole -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8123 2004-10-05 12:26 /opt/kde3/bin/konsole
Disregard the first '-' in '-rwxr-xr-x' for this.
the rwx are owner permissions Read - Write - eXecute the next r-x are group permissions read - execute only... no changing it. the next r-x are permisions for everyone else. read and execute.
In this case, the great root has decided to share the right to execute this program that it owns.
But then, maybe that isn't what you wanted to know...
Or, maybe it is exactly what I needed to know! Why yes, yes it is! Thanks, Jerome
