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?
