i need some help. I'm using Fedora 15. I have 2 users: user1 and user2 and directory in /usr/local/example_directory. Now for this directory owner is user1 and other users can only read this. I need to add specific permissions for user2 so it can remove and modify this directory recursively. How i can do it? P.S.: Sorry for bad language.

You could go 2 ways:
via ACLs, where you can have several users with special permissions: see man setfacl.
via a special group: Put all files into a group example_admins, make them group-writable and add user1 and user2 into that group.

chown -R user2 /usr/local/example_directory

Then user1 loses his permissions. Not what is wanted, I think. – glglgl – 2012-10-30T09:34:40.997
Oh, would you mind to put user1 & user2 into same group? Then you can do chmod g+w -R /usr/local/example_directory – None – 2012-10-30T09:36:11.570
That could be one way to go... – glglgl – 2012-10-30T09:37:10.900
The best I can figured out, sorry for my silly answer. – None – 2012-10-30T09:38:35.250
The keyword is "group". – full.stack.ex – 2012-10-30T09:36:47.780
