RE: Easyest way to share /home/shared

Since this is not a KDE related question I ask you to post this kind of questions on a more general forum, like Linux Questions.

1. Create a group shared

Source code

 
1

# groupadd shared


2. Add these users to that group

Source code

 
1
2

# adduser user1 shared
# adduser user2 shared


3. Set group permissions

Source code

 
1
2

# chgrp shared /home/shared
# chmod 660 /home/shared


The chgrp command could be invoked with the -R flag, to recursively change the group.
