newbie question, probably very easy

HI

I am wanting to use chown to change the owner of the files / folder in my id to the group I am in, so others in teh group can access them and make changes.

what variation of chown do I use ?

cheers

Either chown :groupname filename or chgrp groupname filename should do it, if the OS policy permits. You will also need to set the permissions you want (i.e. group read/write) to grant them using chmod g+rw filename.
