hi list, today i found something which i never had recognized before...;-) situation 1: if i touch a file as user "root" in /home/daniel and the "/home/daniel"-dir is 755, the user "wwwrun" (after "su - wwwrun") CANNOT remove the created file (mode 700, owned by root). situation 2: if i now "chmod 777 /home/daniel" the created file (still mode 700, owned by root) CAN be removed by the user "wwwrun"...very strange to me! does the worldwriteability of the dir have a higher priority than the permission-mode of the file itself (the file was mode 700 and owned by root!!)?! best regards, daniel -- Aufgepasst - jetzt viele 1&1 New WebHosting Pakete ohne Einrichtungsgebuehr + 1 Monat Grundgebuehrbefreiung! http://puretec.de/index.html?ac=OM.PU.PU003K00736T0492a
