hi all,

I have 2 users (usr1,usr2). If i change the owner of a file -file1- in usr1, to usr2 ( i am root, using chown ), Can usr2 view or open the file (file1 , which now has the owner as usr2) directly by giving command

[EMAIL PROTECTED]/]$ vi /home/usr1/file1

I actually tried this but it gave me permission not granted. What is the problem in accessing the file (file1) which apparently has usr2 as its owner,but just that it is under usr1. If this is not possible then what is the use of chown.

thanx
harris
