Forgot to add something: The permissions on the demo database (/usr/ud52/demo) are: usr : drwx r-x r-x ud52 : drwx rws --- demo : drwx rws ---
The permissions on my test database (/datatel/development/coldev) are: datatel : drwx rwx --- development : drwx rws --- coldev : drwx rwx --- The permissions on demo and my test database are almost the same except for the first directory. Does unix treats a user as 'others' if he/she tries to connect via ODBC, even though I have to enter my user id and password to connect? My earlier reply: All the directories have rwx for 'owner' and 'group'. Do I need to have it for 'others' too? The permissions are like this: drwx rwx --- for datatel and coldev. The sticky bit is set on development though as drwx rws --- . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Bullock Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2][UD] ODBC to UniData If I remember correctly, you have to have rwx permission on every directory in the path, i.e. rwx permission on /datatel, on datatel/development, and on datatel/development/coldev Jim > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chauhan, Savita > Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 7:50 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [U2][UD] ODBC to UniData > > Hi, > > I have been trying to connect to our UniData server via ODBC. > It connects fine to the demo database. > But when I try to connect to my own test database from MS-Access or VSG, > it gives an error message "You don't have permissions to chdir to > /datatel/development/coldev" !! > ===== "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has!"
