That is normal UNIX directory permission behaviour. You must have execute permission to make any access to the directory. You generally don't need read access (which is only required to list the files, not to access them). It is not specific to Linux or Firebird. Try it with less and a text file... Hamish

Hi Roy, the x flag is needed for file execution and directory access. While r says you can read the directory x says you can access it. Regards, Martin

[firebird-support] Strange behaviour on Linux
Hello, When I have the following directory structure on a Linux server: /a/b/c and I want to create a database /a/b/c/test.fdb with gbak, the access rights of directory "c" must be rwx (readable, writeable, executable). Also the access rights to directory "a" and "b" must be r_x (readable, executable). The same with use of isql. My question is why? There might be some (unknown to me) reason that directory "c" must be executable, but why also directory "a" and "b"? Can somebody explain this to me? I don't understand it. With kind regards, Roy Damman This applies to 2.5.x but I think also to 3.x.

[firebird-support] Mapping
I have a database which is its own security database. I now want users in the default security database to have access. So I created a mapping: create global mapping TrustedUsers using plugin Srp in "security.db" from any user to user This is based on the example the example in the release notes. But users in the default database are unable to connect. Is there another step? Have I misunderstood something? Dave
