system problem?

[thebeatlesguru]

i find a strange problem:
when i use a normal user,for example:pin, to into /dnalog/ani/ani, when i use ls in it, there is show nothing(of course there are many file in it),and i cant stop the ls process ,ctrl+c is not work. and any other commands are also cant used in that place

but when i su to root,i cant do any thing i want in /dnalog/ani/ani.

whats wrong?

All you need is love,

and the read and "x" permision for the user "pin" on that directory...

Or, you are using a directory which is "automounted" from an NFS-server, and user "pin" does not have the proper permissions on the mount-point and/or that NFS-server.

HTH,

Hi,

Check the path for the executable. It might be possible that you are sourcing the command from a different location when logged in as the problematic user.

Hope this helps.

Dear Beatles Guru - who lives in a church where a wedding has been.

???Yesterday??? the long and winding answer is ownership and permissions and today it still is.

IF CTRL+c does not work try ctrl + break on a windows machine.

Agree w/others that the "missing" files is a perms thing.

As to the KB trouble, it's certainly mapping & you could try:
ctrl-]
ctrl-|
ctrl-del

run stty -a to see just what intr, quit, kill & erase are set to & if not what you want run
stty intr ^C
or whatever you desire for it & the others.

HTH,

Shooooot....I forgot this things interprets backslashes. The 3rd & 4th sequences should be:
ctrl-backslash
del

Try "echo *" (without quotes) instead of "ls", so we know whether or not the problem is related to ls c.q. external commands.

Also: Is NFS involved anywhere in this? If so where and how?
