Greetings

I successfully installed a cloud w/ 4 computers logged in with my own account 
(jallen).  I want to expose the cloud to other users using a generic account.  
So, after installing the SW and formatting the file system I went through and 
performed a chmod on the installation directory and the root of the hadoop file 
system so everyone would have read and write access.

However when I run a command like: "bin/hadoop fs -mkdir input" from the 
generic account I get:
mkdir: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: 
user=hadoop, access=WRITE, inode="user":jallen:supergroup:rwxr-xr-x

I was wondering if the problem may have been created when I changed the 
hadoop.tmp.dir attribute to be just /tmp/hadoop and not based on the user's 
name as is the default /tmp/hadoop-${user.name} but after removing that 
attribute in hadoop-site.xml, restarting and reformatting, I still get the same 
error.

Any thoughts of what's getting accessed or how to solve this?

Jeff
