add file permissions to an exsiting folder
I want to add a user to this folder /netshare/ops/inventory the user is already in the system. i am using samba as the share. how do i add them through the command line version?
if you mean in linux then you would do a chmod on the folder, if you are talking about samba, then you would have to edit the share in samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf and add that user to the share.
Go to the config section about the share /netshare/ops/inventory in your smb.conf file. If you already allow access on a per user basis, you should have a "valid users" option in this section. Just add the new user to this list:
valid users user1,user2,user2,newuser
You can also add this user to a user group, and then enable access based on this group:
valid users @usergroup
valid users user1,user2,user2,newuser
You can also add this user to a user group, and then enable access based on this group:
valid users @usergroup

Unfortunately RH9 does not install any simple editor by default. You should however have gedit available. Try that.
