Hey,

I just got onto a new project with the student government at my University and we're trying to get our webserver into a more workable state. The current problem is that all of us for some reason have sudo power on the server, but we can't write/create files anywhere on the server (as far as we can tell) currently. Our groups are currently as follows:

/srv/ice/db$ groups goshri sshamim rmenezes
goshri : goshri
sshamim : sshamim ptx
rmenezes : rmenezes ptx
daifotis : daifotis ptx

We added a few of us to ptx because we thought that might give us write access but it didn't. We have a bunch of webapps running on this server but since it's university things change hands quickly. What can we do to give us read access?
