I've been runing Mandrake for a couple of years and I'm still having problems with groups. This is the procedure for making a group and sharing a subdirectory that I use. Can someone tell me where I'm screwing up? Thanks in advance
Make a folder: mkdir /home/everyone
make group: groupadd everyone
add users gpasswd -a dave everyone
add users gpasswd -a laura everyone
change the group for the folder chgrp -R everyone /home/everyone
add write for group everyone chmod g+r /home/everyone
Could just be a typo, but r adds read privileges. g+w would add write privileges.
When I'm done with this I still can not make a folder in /home/everyone logged on as dave.
If that wasn't a typo, then it would explain why you can't write a new directory in the /home/everyone folder.
again thanks for your helpCheers,

That was a typo. I've made some progress with Rays help. It appears msec is causing the problem. It keeps running and revoking the write on the /home/everyone subdirectory for the group. I'll work on msec.
Thanks for the help
