how to define permission of unix group

mncapara · #1 (**permalink**) 10-15-2002

While logged on as root, I created a user 'usera'
I also created a group called 'groupa'
I need to modify the permission of the user i created to not have root privileges.
I also need to change groupa to be in 'others'

please help!

thanks,

nieves

usera should not have root privalages by default. check the umask of usera

Which OS are you running?

Which os would indeed be a big help here. In general if usera has root permissions, the uid must be 0. Make the uid some other number. And remember that no two users should have the same uid.

You can't put one group into another group. A group is a colection of users. Not sure what you're looking for here.
