A default installation of Solaris does not contain the /export/home directory. The directory was created after OS installation. As a general way of learning the install-time permissions of a file that is part of the OS you can use pkgchk -p. > > The vendor installed the OS.

Are you sure that /home/user directory on your machine corresponds to the local /export/home directory and does not use the /export/home directory exported by a NFS server ? > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> cd /export > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> ls -l > total 4 > drwxr-x--- 4 root root 512 Jun 27 12:12 > home > The permissions above would deny access to everything under /export to anyone who is not root or part of the root group. So unless user1 is part of group root, he wouldn't be able to access /export/home/user1. That's why I asked above if you're sure /home/user1 corresponds to /export/home/user1. > But our policy allows users in different groups to > read or copy other's file, so I plan to set the > permission to 755. Is there any potential problem? You can change permissions on /export/home. 755 is a common value for it. Vlad.
