[Sheflug] More 'ownership' things :-(

[Ruth Gunstone <ruth [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

Here we go again! ...

I want to set the permissions for a folder, within a website I'm developing,
to rwxrwxrwx (777?). My system won't let me - even when I change to
superuser. I /think/ it's because the folder, while owned by 'ruth', is in
the 'root' group (no, I don't know why!).

When I do 'chgrp ruth websites', I get 'Operation not permitted'. 

Can anyone tell me why please?..and how to change the group?

It may help to know that the folder in question exists on a FAT32 partition,
which one of you chaps (sorry I can't remember your name) helped to set-up.
I've noticed that any new folder created on the partition is in group 'root'.

TTFN!
