creating groups?

[jutah]

My friends and I are working on this project together, but we are having trouble with permissions and writing to each others files. I want to set up a group and give all the members of the group rwx permissions, but I can't figure out the command to do that? Any suggestions?

thanks
jutah :)

The command you want is chmod. Do a "man chmod" to figure out the correct permissions for the group. The file permissions are split into user, group, and other

-rwx|rwx|rwx
^ ^ ^
user group other

I know how to chmod I need to know how to actually create the group.

thanks
