CHOWN and CHMOD Examples
Change the owner of a file
# ls -lart tmpfile [ls is used to diplay the file/directory properties] -rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile # chown root tmpfile # ls -l tmpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile
Change the group of a file
Through the chown command, the group (that a file belongs to) can also be changed. # ls -l tmpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile # chown :friends tmpfile # ls -l tmpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu friends 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile
Change both owner and the group
# ls -l tmpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile # chown himanshu:friends tmpfile # ls -l tmpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu friends 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile
