Thread-topic: Changing permissions on system files
The problem is when I try something like
chown user directory
I get back
Chown: directory: Operation not permitted
The current owner of directory is root. I can't think of any way to make
this work without enabling the root account and doing an "su"
Cheers, Eric

If by "Exec.run()" you mean "Runtime.exec()", then read:
man chmod
man chown
