As i said i do not know much about this.

Below is what i did.

Does not look like i have privileges or do i ?

Code:

cd

pwd
/home/wlsuser

ls -ltr .profile
-rw-------   1 wlsuser root          25 Oct 20  2009 .profile

id
uid=870(wlsuser) gid=641(wlsgrp)

groups wlsuser
wlsgrp webgrp webgroup ndm wlsuser httpd

Can you please help me with the detailed steps ?

Code:

uname -a
