Dear freebsd-questions, I want all members of the "webmasters" group to be able to modify my web documents directory /www. Here's my user, a webmaster: > $id sabshere > uid=1000(sabshere) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1002(webmasters) and, just in case, here's root: > $id root > uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), [...], 1002(webmasters) Here's my directory: > $ls -l > -rwxrwxr-x 1 root webmasters 3714 Dec 19 16:49 index.html But this happens when I am logged in as sabshere: > $echo "whatev" > index.html > -bash: index.html: cannot overwrite existing file I thought this had to do with the "sticky bit," but "chmod -R -t /www" doesn't do anything. Thanks for any insight you can give, Seamus
