hello mark

i guess i get the point. so you meant that i have to set the read write
permission to all users. i am not an expert in ubuntu but i hope i get this
basic part which u said

can i do it with chmod ogu=rwx i am not sure about this command is this the
right one to set the rw permission to all users ?
