(I have no idea how were these permissions changed to '000'). > hi atar! i've never come across this, so i looked up a couple of threads on the matter:
http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/46013-file-permission-000-a.html http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/programming-scripting/147666-how-delete-directory-000-permission-any-idea.html though neither deal with your specific issue at hand, what i did was make a directory with root and chmod 000. then i changed it back to 755. so i'm not sure why you can't do this yourself. what you might try doing is copying any files out of the it to some other directory and then deleting it. i was able to do all this, so may be you can too. -- in friendship, prad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
