Hi,

A simple and silly question on Unix.

I have a directory named "a" and I would like to grant permission to group name "text" to access, read and execute my directory.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks.

chmod 750 a

Case 1) If the owner of directory a is in group "text" then

chmod -R g+rx a

Case 2) If the owner of directory a is not in group "text" then

chmod -R o+rx a
