group permissions for subfolders only (CentOS)
Hi,
Is there a way to allow other members of my group to access subfolders under my home directory, but not my home directory itself? I'm using CentOS 5.4 Thanks, Dahlia. |

"Suppose some user attempts to read a file with some Unix command such as cat. The system call read() is used and the "r" permission is required. The system checks to see if the user is in fact the owner of the file. If so, the access is permitted if the owner has been granted "r" permission. If not, the system check to see if the user is a member of the group of the file. If so, access is permitted if the group has been granted "r" permission". |

to do with the OPs question. It doesn't touch on permissions of directories, it doesn't touch on the subject of the entire path to the files and their permissions. Quote:
If you e.g. have Code:
drwx--x--x 124 dahliash users 20480 2010-04-20 08:21 dahliash in share and cd into it, but won't be able to look at your homes immediate contents. Cheers, Tink |
changing the group permissions to +x did the trick
... before I just had it group-readable, not group-executable, which was not enough.
Thanks! Quote:
