I am trying to make a directory accessible to users and I am missing what I need to do to make the group have permissions. I have a dir called "unv" I set the permissions using Chmod on it to give the owner and Group all permissions. Problem is that when a user of this group creates a folder they can erase it, but all other members are not able to write to it. How do I get permissions to set the group as "wrx" when new items are copied into this directory or when new items are created?

You have given the group permission to write to the unv directory. But I think the creator (owner) of any file or sub directory subsequently placed in there has to give group rwx permissions for each as the case may be. If I'm wrong, I'll be corrected :-) Tim, NJ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
