user & group read/write access question
folks;
I created a new users on my SUSE box and i need to give this user/group a read write access to one specific folder. here's the details:
- I created new user "funny" under group "users".
- I need to give this user "funny" a read/write access to another directory that is owned by "root".
let's say i need to give this user a read/write access to this directory:
"/home/new/testing/" which is owned by root.
How can i do that?
Thanks in advance
