Topic: Groups membership quandary

[ReetP]

I have two 7.4 servers variously upgraded from earlier installations

One shows files/directories owned by 'user:local' and the other by 'user:shared'

Any idea why they have different group memberships and any idea how to change the default membership ?

The only reason it is an issue is that I have been trying to run Unison file synch and it is easier if I have both servers having the same group membership

Any thoughts appreciated !

Hmmm.

Just been & had another look round and it now seems to be saving as user:shared everywhere. I think I must have reset the ibay permissions sometime recently - still not sure why files were being saved as user:local but I guess the ownerships had got messed up at some stage.


Quandary over I think !
