Re: [orca-list] Migrating Orca Settings: Is this method a smart move?

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Slight tweak on the words we're using ...

It's actually not permissions we're tweaking this time, but file
ownership. The command for that is chown.

Look at an ls -l listing of the file. You'll see two named entities, one
will be christopher, and the second may be christopher, or users, or
something else depending on what Linux distribution you're running. With
that said, here's how to change the ownership to christopher:

chown christopher:christopher [file]

More info in man chown

Best,

Janina
