Quick Start Guide

To grant the users group and other users write access to kde-start.xml, enter

chmod go+w kde-start.xml

3 To remove write access for all users, enter

chmod -w kde-start.xml

If you do not specify any kind of users, the changes apply to all users— the

owner of the le, the owning group and the others. Now even the owner tux

does not have write access to the le without rst reestablishing write permis-

sions.

To prohibit the usersgroup and others to change into the directory local,

enter

chmod go-x local

To grant others write permissions for two les, for kde_quick.xml and gnome

_quick.xml, enter

chmod o+w kde_quick.xml gnome_quick.xml

Procedure 17.5: Changing Ownership

Suppose you are tux and want to transfer the ownership of the le kde_quick.xml

to an other user, named wilber. In this case, proceed as follows:

Enter the username and password for root.

2 Enter

chown wilber kde_quick.xml

3 Check what happened with

ls -l kde_quick.xml

You should get the following output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 wilber users 47896 2006-06-21 09:46 kde_quick.xml

4 If the ownership is set according to your wishes, switch back to your normal

user account.
