Linux permissions help
Hi
I am a newbie and trying to figure out how the file permisions work:
I see Each file has a set of 3 permissions:
Access permissions
-Owner
-Group
-Others
Ownership
-User
-Group
and
Advanced permissions:
Class show entries write entries enter special
User x x x
Group x x
Others x x x
and so on, please could someone explain this to me or point me to a good article on the permissions.
thx

That clears things up a bit, are there any articles regarding setting up the filesystem so that I can lock it and the apps up as much as possible for a group of terminal users, ie an example setup?
