File perms for specific users
Hi,
Is there a way to set the file/folder permissions to "read/execute"
only for a few specific users(say 3 users)? Please note that the
system administrator(root) is not involved here.
Thanks in advance
Pramod

You can add the 3 users to a new "group" that only contains them. Then set the permissions for the group.
man groupadd
man chmod
If you need more finite control you can use ACLs (Access Control Lists). Have a look at:
man setfacl
