I hope you like academic exam questions, long since after you completed your degree. ;-)
Here's a new question for netapp admins: (as root) mkdir -p a/b/c echo "secret info" > a/b/c/info.txt chmod 777 a chmod 700 a/b chmod 777 a/b/c chmod 666 a/b/c/info.txt Now, a normal user should not have any access to info.txt because they get blocked by the 700 perms at the "b" directory. But if the file were moved outside the "b" directory, or if the perms were more permissive on the "b" directory, then normal users could have access. The only obstacle stopping users from accessing "secret info" are the 700 perms on "b" directory. Create snapshot. echo "public info" > a/b/c/info.txt Now, do one of the following: mv a/b/c a/c or chmod 777 a/b By doing this, normal users have been granted access to info.txt, but if they read it, they'll only see "public info." But the question is: Can a normal user access "secret info" in either a/c/.snapshot, or in a/b/c/.snapshot? _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
