Hi List;

I have 2 users which both have need to access various database related files.I've created a new group called 'dba'. Most of the time I want the users to create files with their default user:group perms, however when I'm working on these sql / db files I want the files to be created with the default user as the owner but dba as the group.

Is there a Linux command that will switch my primary group only until I log out of a terminal or session ?


Thanks in advance...



Don't hijack the thread. If you have a new issue it is best to send original email directly to fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx rather than respond to another email message and change the subject.

From the command line you can use "newgrp gba". This will change the primary group for the user in that session to "gba".
Take a look at "man newgrp" for more explanation.

I don't know if there is a way to do this from the GUI or not. I did not find one in the short search I did.
