Wow. thanks! been trying to reply but getting errors. so hopefully not a bunch of repeats. Does it take a while to take effect? This is what it gave me back after a couple of failed tries: chown [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fh] [owner][:group] file ...
Still not able to open the "Movies" directory, etc. Will have to wait till monday to work on it. thanks a lot. How many hours will it take me to know what you know about these arcane commands? Do you Unix people think it's fun? -Felix On Friday, January 09, 2004, at 04:22PM, Peter da Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> chown -R username ~ > ^---- I forgot something here, can you tell me what? > >That's right!
