user administration

[Mark Corsi]

You want to use the chmod command.

 

If you look it up in your man pages, you will see a full description.

 

The third number given as a parameter for the command controls the user.

 

7 = read, write, execute

6 = read, write

4 = read

 

The first digit of the 3 digit command controls root, the second digit group
and the 3rd digit controls user level access.

 

So, if you wanted to set permissions for a non-executable file that only
root could write to you would type:

 

                          chmod 644 NameOfFile.txt
