Try this: man chmod or google for it you can recursively set permissions using chmod -R or better yet, script it with a shell or perl script -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Muhammad Rizwan Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 11:29 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Users permissions Hello I want to set following user permissions on files and folders. 1- Set the same permissions on all the contents of selected directory. 2- Set the same permissions on all the files of selected directory (files). 3- Set the user permission to delete the file or folder (in addition to read, write and execute). I want to set all these permission though command line rather then by using GUI. Is there any idea with you...
