group & user permission question
Folks;
I'd like to create a group on my Linux box & add a few users to it.
Is there a way to do so and restrict this group/users to have access to only one or directory trees?
Let's say i need this group to only have a read write access to only these two directories /opt/Virtu & /fsn/comers
How can i do so?
Your help is very much appreciated
