[OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE... > Actually, being really pedantic, you only need > chown -R henkoegema: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/cur/* You're assuming, of course, that the default group is also henkoegema... Here, for example, my default group is "users", but I'm also in a group with my username. I changed the default myself because it's actually useful, as long as you're aware of what groups do. Also being pedantic.  Fredderic |
