I have a user that is a part of a group called &quot;bcm&quot; and user &quot;brendan&quot; is inside of that group. It is also that users primary group.<br />
<br />
I have a list of files that list group bcm as owner, and have write access, yet when I open these files, they're read only. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
ls -al output from the folder with the files:<br />
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 jshocki bcm &nbsp; &nbsp;7023 Jul 26 07:15 temp2.log<br />

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
