I'm a novice with unix and have another question about this if you don't
mind.
I set the EDITOR environment variable and used acledit (filename) to change
the permissions. I changed disabled to:
enabled
permit rwx u:<username>
My problem is the user I am setting this up for cannot browse the directory
let alone write to it. I thought maybe the acl for that directory needs to
be reread again by the system or something. Can you give me some direction
on how to make that happen if that even is the problem?
Thanks
