Dear coreutils, Actually, I'm not sure if ls is the perpetrator, but maybe you guys can find out where things go wrong. I do not think that the filename "canttouchthis" should be listed when I am not root in the following situation:
r...@system76-pc:/home/xinwei/bugreport# ls -l total 4 d---r--r-- 2 root root 4096 2009-07-05 13:27 protected r...@system76-pc:/home/xinwei/bugreport# ls -l protected total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 xinwei xinwei 0 2009-07-05 13:27 canttouchthis r...@system76-pc:/home/xinwei/bugreport# exit xin...@system76-pc:~/bugreport$ ls -l protected/ ls: cannot access protected/canttouchthis: Permission denied total 0 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? canttouchthis xin...@system76-pc:~/bugreport$ find ./ -name canttouchthis xin...@system76-pc:~/bugreport$ sudo !! sudo find ./ -name canttouchthis ./protected/canttouchthis xin...@system76-pc:~/bugreport$ Thanks! _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
