There are special moments when you just have to thank your favorite deity that Linux exists.
Today I was working on a Windows Server 2008 system, and I came across a folder, C:\foo\bar, that I could not open. The folder is on a local disk, and I'm a local administrator on the server. And yet, I could not open the "bar" folder. "Permission denied." And when I tried to change the ACLs on the folder, I also got "Permission denied." Moreover, when I created a second folder as a sibling, c:\foo\bar2, I could not open the bar2 folder either. Note that I had just CREATED the folder MYSELF... and did I mention that I'm an administrator? The mind reels. Thank you, Linux deities, for letting me be a true administrator. $ mkdir dir $ touch dir/myfile $ chmod 000 dir $ sudo ls dir myfile -- Dan Barrett [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
