Howdy list,
I can't seem to find any doc's explaining what's really going on behind this scenario:
A user home directory had been reset to :
d--- --- --- user group user_dir
As root i tried to :
chmod -R 750 user_dir
got permission denied, my friend tried with as user that owns the directory to:
chmod -R 750 user_dir and voila it works.
My question is how come did it work, since the user_dir doesn't have a owner permission attached and why user root has been denied with changing the mode?
Rgds,
Joseph
