Greetings, i had a following problem, which on one side i have already solved, but on other side i don't thing it should behave this way and wish somebody to tell if it is feature or bug ;-)
[root@machine home]# chown user user/ [root@machine home]# ls -ld /home/user drwxr-xr-x 66 user staff 4096 /home/user [root@machine home]# chgrp -R staff user/ [root@machine home]# ls -ld user/ drwxr-xr-x 66 root staff 4096 user/ ^^^^^^
I've been working on it hole afternoon, playing with user permissions, moving home directories to others, debugging selinux and other things, but at last, it was caused by
[root@machine home]# ls -la user/.openoffice/user/work lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 28 14:35 user/.openoffice/user/work -> /home/user
When i remove this symlink, everything works fine.
I tried this on CentOS 4.4 and 4.5 with coreutils-5.2.1-31.4 and coreutils-5.2.1-31.6 and both are doing this. CentOS 5 with coreutils-5.97-12.1.el5 is already fine.
I've been searching through coreutils gnu.org archives, but found nothing (maybe i'm not so experienced seeker ;-))
