File permissions in every element of the path or just the last one?
Kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0
Hi:
For a given app run by me as user john to be able to create a file in /foo1/foo2/, what do I need?
(a) john to have write permissions in /foo1/?
(b) john to have write permissions in /foo1/foo2/?
(c) john to have write permissions in both /foo1/ and /foo1/foo2/? Any hint will be welcome.
Note: No. It's not homework. KTorrent complains when trying to create the files being downloaded, saying 'permission denied'. But I think he is being run by another user. Well... I can explain in a different thread.
