Help with setting group permissions (newb!)

[TheNewVegas]

Hey guys

I am fairly new to linux and am in a linux admin course in college,

i am trying to finish up a lab in that i have i have some accounts created under groups called "mgmt" and "pl". I am trying to figure out how i can get the guys in "mgmt" to be able to modify files in a directory called "mgmt-final" but the guys in the group "pl" will only be allowed to read those files.

any help would be awesome
sorry if this is a really small-time problem

Thanks in advance,
Vegas

use file access control list in linux.



use

# setfacl command

to set ACL's


check syntax for

# man setfacl

get set acls display use

#getfacl command

check syntax for getfacl

this is all really basic stuff. you need to LOOKUP how to modify FILE PERMISSIONS on LINUX.

Try this

learning linux is more about learning how to solve problems than it is about knowing the OS itself. you will get the most benefit out of school by doing stuff on your own.


and again, homework questions are against the forum rules.

Take a look at linux and unix group permissions and you should be able to resolve your problem. Since this is a homework question, the thread is closed.
