Change Linux folder permissions (recursive) for one user
Hi,
I'd like to change the folder permissions to something like 755 for the folder /var/lib/mysql for the user "vkimura". What's the linux command to do this? I have a Centos and Ubuntu machine. Are they the same command?
So something like this:
chmod [-R] ### <filename or directory>
but specifically apply this command to only a user. I have to use su - to do this.
Thanks,
Victor

Thanks, that's helpful.
But I don't want to chown. The user mysql owns the files and folder in /var/lib/myql but I want to keep it the same owner. I just wish to add my user 'vkimura' so that vkimura can also read, write, execute the files/folder in /var/lib/mysql.
Is there a way to do this? If I add vkimura to the group (also mysql) that owns /var/lib/mysql then won't vkimura also have access to to everything that the user mysql has access too? Instead, I only wish for vkimura to have read/write/execute permissions on /var/lib/mysql. How do I do this if it's possible?
