One of the great features of Linux is that it is a multi-user system. With multi-users, it allows certain users to own files and directories so nobody else can access/modify them, for example your /home directory. To change the ownership of a file/directory, as root execute the following command in a terminal:
chown username. filename/directory
This will change the ownership and group ownership of the specified file or directory to the specified user. For more information, in a terminal, type man chown |
