RE: unable to write/create new files using gnome editor..

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



arron,

for clarification.. i was asking what i might have done, that could have
changed things behind the scenes, such that the system no longer allowed for
the creation/editing of files in dirs...

i fully understand the permission structure... but the curious thing is that
i didn't physically change anything, and i'm the only one with access to the
machine. i had seen similar behavior on another box when the
partition/inodes or something had gotten screwed up.. and the system went
through some sort of process, where it corrected things...

hope this is more information...

-bruce

I am not sure what you are asking. If you have a directory with
permissions 700 you can't created files in the dirctory unless you are
its owner. Are yu asking whaqt is the minimum permissions on a
directory that will allow non-owners of the directory to create files
in the directory?
