File Permissions

Hi ;
Working off a AIX 4.3.
There are three users, root, axel & rose.
I have a directory where data is stored owned by root.
Now as user axel & rose I cannot cp or mv the files out from this dir, but about a week ago this was possible.

1st Q is why this sudden change.
2nd Q is is there a way that we can make all the users use this dir.
I would also like to inform you that we have a trivial root/pswd, so we do get in as root and do the needfull.

Would appreciate your input.

thnx

I would suggest that you contact your system administrator. Generally root passwords are not given out to normal users. Try that first!

view the changes to the permissions for the file..
use ls -l [filename]

use chmod ..
to change permission..

Of couse you need to have right, permissions rights to this.
