I am following this YouTube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN4K8o1aILA&t=2223s about using Linux from scratch to make a Linux distribution everything works except around the 37:04 mark I am doing the chown command and when I do it his way of Sudo chown -R user:distbuild OsName I found that only the user can make and remove files but if you do it the other way so distbuild:user then distbuild can make and remove files but the user can’t. Why is this happening and how can I fix it any help is greatly greatly appreciated

Steps I have tried:I went back over and over tried doing it logged in as the distbuild user and not and even doing everything else again

the problem is that I need to make it accessible to two users not just one – Choccy_vr Jun 20 '23 at 20:01
