user permissions problems

[Njoku, George O.]

I would do a....

 

# grep "username" /etc/group

 

Make sure your "username" is listed in admin group

 

Admin:x::112:"username"

 

Then try login out of X...then log back in

	the permissions for most of the files are rw-r--r--, which means
I should be able to edit them 

oops:) meant to say

I don't know why I can't

	Can you use the terminal to set permission for the files in that
	directory? If  you can do that, does that cure the problem?
