Hi all
I have been trying to find out how to chown files while not using a root account.
I want to change ownership of a file from user a to user b. I tried adding user a to user b's group, and user b to user a's group.
Any idea on how to solve this?
You'll probably have to use sudo.
Changing ownership of files when non-root is known as a "file giveaway" and most modern Unix-like OSes don't allow it for security reasons. I don't *think* there's anything you can do in Linux to allow this.
