Permissions on /blah ? Assuming the "hobbit" user is a member of group
"adm", the /blah directory must have group "adm" and at least
group-execute permissions. If group is not "adm", then execute
permission for "all".
In the above case, the directory was owner root, group root, permissions
655, so it wasn't a directory permission issue.
However, this still doesn't resolve or address the original issue of not
being able to read /var/log/messages where I Showed the permissions of
all the directories and files which *should* have allowed the user to
read the file.
I'm sure there is something really bizarre going on for me, because this
*should* work, and it can't be debian, because I'm sure there are plenty
of other people out there running hobbit with debian who have this
working properly....
Any other pointers? please? I really don't understand what else to look
at...
Thanks,
Adam
