When trying to change ownership of the files in a directory, I mistakenly had the settings wrong in the command, so I got the following ls -l total 16 drw-rw-r-- 4 user proj1 4096 Sep 28 14:23 doc/ drw-rw-r-- 24 user proj1 4096 Sep 28 14:27 modules/ drw-rw-r-- 3 user proj1 4096 Sep 28 14:23 project/ ls -l project total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? compile.conf ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? myproject.conf ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? novas_fli.so
Same for the other directories' contents. When I try to chown -R or chgrp -R or rm -rf for project/ I get permission denied. How can I use chown to set something valid (e.g., user proj1) so I can get rid of these directories/files?? Thanks. Richard
