This is the procedure for making a group and sharing a subdirectory that I use. Can someone tell me where I'm screwing up? Thanks in advance Make a folder: mkdir /home/everyone make group: groupadd everyone add users gpasswd -a dave everyone add users gpasswd -a laura everyone change the group for the folder chgrp -R everyone /home/everyone add write for group everyone chmod g+r /home/everyone When I'm done with this I still can not make a folder in /home/everyone logged on as dave. again thanks for your help -- Dave Pomeroy K7DNP South Eastern Washington - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
