You should not add users to the root group, period.

What are you trying to do specifically? Adding users to the ‘root’ group
is almost never needed and should not be done casually. If you need to
add a user you can do so via Yast or with the following command:

useradd -m <username>

The ‘-m’ creates a home directory for the user automatically (by default
/home/<username>).

Good luck.

Actually. i made a new LVM portion and then mounted it. but when i try to put some shares on it it didn’t worked. so then i change permissions to chmod 777. then it worked and allowed users to share file.
i posted a question beofre with title “mounted portion is not accessible” then a person by username PV explained it to me the reason why.
thats why i am trying to put users in root group.

anyway thanks alot guys i realy got a lot of help from this forum. i really appreciate and specially PV and swerdna.

Just change the owning user/group on the share.

A bit more detail, here is an example:


chown w8swasi:users /fileshare/maths

See “man chown” for details. With KDE you can use “File Manager Super User
Mode” to do this with the GUI.
