It is a little difficult (for me) to figure out what you were trying to do. But let me ask you what the file was called. Did you call the file "test?" If so, the built-in shell command "test" was probably interfering with your experiment.

Working with chmod is very standard UNIX/Linux work and perhaps the more generic Linux help groups or web forums would be more helpful to you than we could be.

Why don't you cut and paste what you were trying to do and see if we can figure it out that way.

I don't think I was really going to get an answer for this anyway but, I figured it out. After making my change I logged out and back in again and it worked. I think I get it but if someone could explain it to me that would be nice.

Thanks

Hello all,

I think my file permission are completely screwed up? I created a file called text file called test as root user and have done chgrp on that file to a group called admin. I have added the users ozzie and root to that group. I then did a chmod g+wr on the test file and ozzie can still not write to the file. If I take away read access from the group, ozzie can still read the file. The group permissions have no effect what so ever. If you add or take away permissions from the other permissions, that will effect the test file. What did I do wrong? Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks all.

Dominic
