Hi:
Suppose I logged in as user john, and I tried copying
a.txt from /home/john/devel into /home/perry/trunk/so
(owned by perry); but everytime I get a "Permission denied"
error.
I tried logging in in as perry and execute the
following commands to allow anybody to copy into "so"
subdirectory :
cd trunk
chmod 777 so
After I executing this command, john is still unable to
copy a.txt from /home/john/devel into /home/perry/trunk/so
I tried another step, I logged in as john and execute:
ln -s /home/perry/trunk/so my_so
cp a.txt my_so
I still get a permission denied. I tried changing the
permissions /home/perry and /home/perry/trunk into
rwx--x--x, but it still doesn't work.
I wonder why it doesn't work. If I'm not mistaken
permission mode 777 allows anybody to read/write/execute,
Plus the fact the change the permission mode of /home/perry
and /home/perry/trunk into rwx--x--x(According to my man
pages, x is allowed access if it is a directory); so based
on my understanding, anybody can access /home/perry and
/home/perry/trunk
thanks in advance,
ludwig
