 |
|
| question about gid - when setting up my system for ntfs reading support, i was doing the /etc/fstab entry for the windows drive, when i came to the part in the faq about setting gid's for the drive. could someone explain how the gids work? im not sure how to set it so that just my non-root user can access it, not *everyone* ... is there some way to list the groups/gids on a system? |

hi,
you can list the groups on the system with
to allow just one user to use the ntfs mount, you can create a sole group for that user.
name the group like the user and put the user in there, or make it the default group for that user.

Just edit the /etc/group file
add the user to a group like this
| Code: | | audio::18:puggy,sarah |
this adds puggy and sarah to the audio group

hi,
you can also use usermod to modify the groups a user belongs to. this tool does the same like
editing /etc/group manually. but it has some more options. and its more powerful.
