normal user can delete files, which is not owned by him.
try: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] su [EMAIL PROTECTED] touch XXX [EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod 700 XXX [EMAIL PROTECTED] exit [EMAIL PROTECTED] rm -f XXX :) that file is deleted !!!
Yeah... But what owner of this file is ??
Look: SRV:/home/ftp# ls -la -rw------- 1 root root 166 2004-05-12 15:07 welcome.msg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rm -f welcome.msg rm: cannot remove `welcome.msg': Permission denied
for example: at /, /bin ..it is not possible, but at: /usr/bin/, ~/, /tmp it is really possible.
Yeap.. because is owned as root, not x account in your example.
I never had any problems with remove non-owned files. I sugest read manual of LS command :)
