<snip> chgrp audio <file1> <file2> ... OR chgrp -R audio <dir> This will change the group from root (or whatever) to audio - the first will do files, the second directories. However, you need to be the owner in order to make any ownership/permission changes. chmod g+r <file1> <file2> ... OR chmod -R g+r <dir> This will give group read permissions - the first for individual files, the second for whole directories. Hope that's "limpid" enough for you, pierre ;) Keith -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
