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>cd VG_DBACPTDATA/

Hi,

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

chmod 760 dirname


Rgds.

[melvyn burnard]

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

Thanks Rasheed,

Remind me not to do this before my first cuppa java :-)
