In the FreeBSD 5.3 OS system, I have just = created a new group called "backup" and I have added one user to this = group called backup. What I am looking for is what is the command to = limit this group called "backup" to only reading and downloading files = but not from writing and deleting files on my system. Can groups be set = to certain rights so any user added to that group will only get those = rights. Thanks, VJ =20
