it should work if you do it like this: bevs -r appds2 # where appds2 is your virtual server chown admin.admin /etc
(but if you do that you only change the owner of the /etc dir, not the files in that dir...) ps: it doesn't work if you create a user on your hosting-server and change the owner of the dir in a virtual-host, to that user; because every virtual-host has it's own users, user-ids regards, Georges Toth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ana Paula Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 18:23 PM To: Freevsd-Support Subject: Changing ownership in a virtual server I need to change the ownership of a directory inside of a virtual server. Now it is as root, and I need to move for admin. If I try logged like admin, I get this error: [admin@appds2 root]$ chown admin.admin /etc chown: /etc: Numerical result out of range [admin@appds2 root]$ If I try from hosting server, I get: [root@testserver /root]# chown admin.admin /home/vsd/vs/appds2/etc chown: admin.admin: invalid user So, I add the user admin in hosting server (useradd admin) and I got to give the command, but now, the etc directory it is like this: drwxr-xr-x 14 501 501 4096 Oct 31 05:23 etc And not: drwxr-xr-x 14 admin admin 4096 Oct 31 05:23 etc With certainty I made everything wrong. How can I make that with success?
