Re: [cobalt-users] Folder permissions

["Edward M Gore Jr" <edward@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Create a new group in /etc/groups.  See the man groups page for the syntax.
Add each user you want to be able to access the new folder to the new group.
Create the folder, then use chgrp to assign it to the new group you just
established.  Change the folder permissions with chmod to allow group read
and group search (execute) permissions.  (also add group write if you want
them to be able to create or delete files in the folder.  Refer to the
various man pages for the syntax for each command.

Note that any of this might void any warranty on your box, derpending on
Cobalt's attitude to your changes.
