-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You need to ensure the group has read, write, and execute permission for the directory, and read write permission for the files you want to be accessable by the group. The following should accomplish this, assuming you want the group to be able to read and write all files in the directory. chmod g=rwX <directory name> -R Replace <directory name> with the name of the directory you are setting permissions on. Also, note that the X is capitalized. If you don't do this, you will set group execute on all of the files and the directory, which is not what you want. - --- Joseph C.
