[SOLVED] Listing Protection of Root Directory

OtagoHarbour · 07-14-2012, 06:21 PM

I am using Ubuntu 11.10.

How do you get the directory protection status for the root directory. If I try

Code:

ls -l /

I get a listing of the subdirectories of / but not / itself. So I cannot see what its protection status is.

Thanks,
Peter.

Try 'ls -ld /' or easier: 'stat /'.

They both give me exactly what I want.

Thanks very much,
Peter.
