After using Linux for about five years now I finally have to throw myself
on the mercy of the group. I am at a complete loss as how to use
permissions. I am currently running Mandrake/Venus.
As root I have added a new user, smolnar, and made him a member of the
group users in /etc/group:
users::100:smolnar
When I do a listing of / I find that most of the subdirectories are
accessable, however some are not. For example I have an entry:
msdos drwx------ root root 1024 19:43 09.12.1999
If I understand 'Linux: Getting Started' correctly, the directory msdos
belongs to root and may be accessed by root and no one else.
I want to give access to msdos to the new user, smolnar.. What command(s)
do I issue, and what is the syntax, while logged in as su?
Thanks in advance.
