Write Permission Question in RHAS 4.0

xmdms · 10-01-2008, 06:59 AM

Greetings,

I need to open up a directory on my Linux server for group & other to read and write to this directory. However, the directory is owned by another group. Would 775 (chmod) be sufficient enough or ???

Please help.

Thank you in advance.

You need to clarify a little. Which groups need to read/write? Which individual users need to read/write?

Here are your options:
1. Use chmod to give more permissions, for a directory 7 means they can look in the directory, they can read and they can write.
2. Create another group that includes all of the users for both groups.

I have a group called, contractor1 and contractor2. However, the directory owned by usergrp1 (/tmp/logs/). I need this directory to have read/write/execute permission, so that "others" or "group" can write & read from.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear before.

Thanks,
J
