Either create a new group called music,  and add users to that, or do it

I have created a new group and added my user id to the user list linked to that group using kuser

I then tried to sort the permissions out, and think i have made an error somewhere. typing chgrp music music

I know something has changed, but what do root music refer to below, I know they are users, but I have so far only changed on of them, I should be able to change it back to root, but what should I have typed.

drwxr-xr-x    2 root music    48 Jun  1 13:34 music

thanks

Paul


What I'd do is create a directory in the root of the drive then as you say create a group called music, make the directory owned by the music group then add the users you want to be able to access it to the music group.


HTH,
David.
