Tip #2
I have learned recently than you could change both owner and group owner
in a simple command.
The normal way to do so would be:
$ chown malartre FILE
$ chgrp wheel FILE
Thats to much long for me ;-) So the solution is:
$ chown malartre:wheel FILE
----------
Notes: There is also a BAD WAY to do so:
$ chown malartre.wheel
BUT DONT USE THAT: because sometimes, it's nice to have a "." in a user
name.
I have finded the last way (malartre.wheel) in a O'Reilly book, but it
seems it's not good to do so.
