Also (follow up from my previous reply), to successfully use chown on files
owned by root, you will need root access or equivalence (see your system
administrator, if that's not yourself)

Subject: Permission Problem with DOSEMU


I am having problems accessing DOSEMU to run it.  A technician set it
up on my machine for me, but I cannot get it to run.  Here is what I
get:

   DOSEMU will run on _this_ terminal.
   To exit you need to execute 'exitemu' from within DOS,
   because <Ctrl>-C and 'exit' won't work!

   Hint: if you want $HOME as DOS drive D:, use '-home' option

   Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU or <Ctrl>C to cancel\n

ENTER
 permission denied

I am running RHL 7.1 on a pentium III.  I am running in text mode only.
I did a chmod 777 *.* on the dosemu directory, and a chown gary.users
on that same directory.

I get:
total 44
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         4096 Jan  4 14:36 .
drwxr-x---   12 root     root         4096 Jan  4 14:33 ..
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Sep 18 17:18 bin

lrwxrwxrwx    1 500      gopher          6 Sep 18 17:18 xdosemu -> dosemu
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Sep 18 17:18 Xfonts

I am *very* new to linux, so I do not understand why gopher appears
here.  Also, I do not know why I cannot seem to change it, or how
dosemu can be run if gopher appears as the group.

TIA
Gary
