FWIW, chown won't change the group by default. e.g chown -R fred /home/bob Will change the ownership of all bob's files to fred, but not the group. Whereas chown -R fred:fred /home/bob or, as a shortcut: chown -R fred: /home/bob Will change both the owner and the groups. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
