Hi, rwx-rwx-rwx root techsupport project rwx (owner) rwx (groupowner) rwx (others) root( owner) techsupport (groupowner) project (file) r-4 w-2 x-1 SET UID-----4 SET GID-----2 STICKYBIT---1 How SUID it works for Directory? Do the below example so, that you can come to know how it works and how to give the permissions!!! create a folder called project in / partition. rwxr-xr-x root root 350MB project addusers-------- user1 , user2 , user3 and give the password as the same. create one group called techsupport. add those users to techsupport by using usermod -G techsupport user1,user2,user3 rwxr-xr-x root techsupport 350MB project /#chmod 070 project ---wxr--- root techsupport 350MB project /#chmod 2070 project ---wxs--- root techsupport 350MB project login user1 browse the folder called project you can able to do!!!!!!!!!!! then create new user called "newuser" as well as password. try to login to newuser and access project file you can't!!!!!!!!!! so you can come to know that why SGID is needs. it is simple logic that, who ever (users) have permission, they can only access the folder. Thanks & regards, ILAMPOORANAN.S Why ask Why ??
