Help With Permissions Change [Ubuntu]

Post by JoshQuake »

I'm not very versed in linux commands, so I'm needing some guidance here :D. I need to change "mail" to "vmail" in the following permissions.

Code: Select all

drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 Oct 22 13:51 /var/mail
Thanks!
Josh

chgrp vmail /var/mail

If you need it done recursively, you can use 'chgrp -R vmail /var/mail'.

Thank you! I figured "mail" would be the group, but didn't want to mess around with anything.
