Help Gurus!

What am I missing??
directory owned by user, yet user cannot cd into directory, see extracts below

This was done as user sybacpt:
cptux03.za.mhgad.com/dev>ls -lad VG*
drw-rw---- 2 sybacpt sybase 8192 Aug 1 09:34 VG_DBACPTDATA

drw-rw---- 2 root sys 8192 Aug 4 11:54 VG_DBDEVDATA
drw-rw---- 2 root sys 96 Aug 4 12:59 VG_DBDEVLOG

cptux03.za.mhgad.com/dev>cd VG_DBDEVLOG
sh: VG_DBDEVLOG: Permission denied.[This I understand]

cptux03.za.mhgad.com/dev>cd VG_DBACPTDATA/
sh: VG_DBACPTDATA/: Permission denied.[ This has got me puzzled]

Hi,

You have to set executable bit on the dir. Instead of 660 make it 760.

chmod 760 dirname

Rgds.

Well you are trying to cd to : VG_DBACPTDATA/

cptux03.za.mhgad.com/dev>cd VG_DBACPTDATA/

try doing :
cd VG_DBACPTDATA

Also, there is no "x" permissions on teh directory:
drw-rw---- 2 sybacpt sybase 8192 Aug 1 09:34 VG_DBACPTDATA

The "x" permission allows execute for files, but allows you to cd into a directory.
Try doing chmod 760 on the directory
