Can not write on someone's else /home directory
Hi Guys,
This might see a dump question but I will make it anyway :). Here is the scenario: I have two users on my Linux Mint installation: User A User B I want User A to be able to write on User B home directory, say /home/B. For this I have changed users's B home directory to look like this: ls -ld drwxrwxr-x 36 B music 4096 2010-09-26 10:31 /home/B I have created a "music" group and assigned to /home/B, so all users that are member of "music" are going to be able to write on User B home directory, right? The answer is No! Not here in my box :( Can you tell me why? Why users under group music can't write on /home/B if B directory is owned by group music and group music has write permissions? Thank You! |
Additionally,
Here is how /etc/groups looks like: tail /etc/group sambashare:x:114:renan,rodrigo rodrigo:x:1001: music:x:1002:A,B,C,D,E rodrigo@renan-desktop /home $ |
What error do you receive and how are you trying to 'write' to the directory?

Hi grail,
Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay. The error I receive is "permission denied". I am trying to write the usual, for instance, creating a directory or touch file.txt. I have all the rights through group permission but Linux simply does not allow any member to write. |
Changes to group permissions usually require a fresh login. Did you log the user out completely and then log back in?

Also just wanted to confirm you are logged in as one of the users and not as rodrigo who is not in the group?
