2 Grant the group read, write, and execute rights (. . . rwx . . .). (Owner and other permissions are
represented by dots because their settings are irrelevant.)
For example, you could enter
chmod -R 770 /path/group_dir
where path is the file path to the work area, and group_dir is the group work directory. The
second 7 grants rwx to the group. (The example assumes that the owner of the directory should
also retain all rights. Therefore, the first number is also 7.)
3 Check each parent directory in the path up to the
group has read and execute rights (r-x) in each directory as shown by the second group of
permissions ( . . . r-x . . .).
Use the command to adjust this where necessary by specifying the number 5 for the

17.4.4 Providing a Public Work Area

On an NCP volume, you can provide a public work area by assigning [Public] as a trustee and then
granting the required trustee rights to the directory.
For the work area itself, you would set permissions for the owner, group, and all others to read,
write, and execute rights (rwx rwx rwx) (
All others must also have read and execute rights on the system in each parent directory in the path
all the way to the root of the Linux system. This means that you set permissions for all parent
directories to rwx --- r-x.
To provide a public work area on a Linux POSIX volume:
1 Use the
command to assign all rights (rwx) to other (all users). For example, you could
chown
enter
chmod -R 707 /path/group_dir
where path is the file path to the work area, and group_dir is the group work directory. The
third 7 grants rwx to the group. (The example assumes that the owner of the directory should
also retain all rights and that the group setting is irrelevant.)
2 Check each parent directory in the path up to the
(other) have read and execute rights (r-x) in each directory as shown by the third group of
permissions (. . . . . . rwx). (Owner and group permissions are represented by dots because their
settings are irrelevant.)
Use the chmod command to adjust this where necessary by specifying the number 5 for the
other permission. For more information, see
