The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must be configured so that all files and directories contained in local interactive user home directories are group-owned by a group of which the home directory owner is a member.

Change the group of a local interactive user's files and directories to a group that the interactive user is a member of. To change the group owner of a local interactive user's files and directories, use the following command:

Note: The example will be for the user smithj, who has a home directory of "/home/smithj" and is a member of the users group.

# chgrp users /home/smithj/<file>
