groups



I must have a fundamental misunderstanding of users, groups, owners,
and permissions.  I want my user, Jack, to be able to create files in
the /home/httpd/html directory.  That directory is owned by the user
root and group root.  So, I created a group called webusers, put Jack
in it, changed the group on the /home/httpd directory and all its
subdirectories to webusers and changed the permissions to rwxrwxr-x
for the same directories.  Still can't create a file in
/home/httpd/html while logged in as Jack.  What don't I understand
here?
