UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

put together a list of users that will require write access to that directory, add them to a group and give that group write permissions on the directory (775). Never give world write perms.. though I am sure that you know that already..

Hi, Blowtorch !
Thank you for the advise. Though, I am pretty fresh in this business, and would appreciate if you could send me a couple advises on the commands to perform these actions.
What files do I need to change, and how the command line should look like if I need to assign 775 permission to whole /local2 for instance ?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Dennis

to create a group: groupadd <groupname>
to add a user to a group: usermod -g <groupname> <username>
to change permissions of a file/directory: chmod <permissions> <file/dir name>
to change permissions of an entire directory tree:
chmod -R <permissions> <file/dir>

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
