Hello all -
I recently have been running low on drive space in my home partition. I've
much free space on /usr, so I was considering moving my development to
/usr/local/src rather than ~/src. So I did this:
addgroup source
usermod -G source aaron
mkdir /usr/local/src
chmod 775 /usr/local/src
chgroup source /usr/local/src
permissions appear correct. However, user 'aaron' can't write to
/usr/local/src. Here is one discrepancy I discovered in this process:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
... ~$ > groups
aaron dip
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
... ~$ > su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
... /home/aaron# > groups aaron
aaron : aaron dip source
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
... /home/aaron# >
Hmm. why is this happening? I'd love to be able to do this in a
secure way, rather than making /usr/local/src world-writable.
