Hey everyone, We had a minor problem here at work and I thought I would bounce this off the list. By accident, a user changed permissions to 077 rather than 777 on a temporary directory in /tmp giving the following results.
d---rwxrwx 2 abc111 gabcd 4096 Apr 20 12:08 dstpatch Now that user cannot change the permissions, cannot delete the directory, cannot read or write the directory. As a member of the group "gabcd" and since the world has rwx permissions on this directory, why can she not change the permissions and / or access the directory at all? I am a member of the group and can create files in the directory or delete files out of the directory but I cannot rename or delete the directory itself and cannot change permissions on it. Outside of the root user doing a chmod (and this includes using sudo), is there any way to resolve this issue?
