Yes, as Barry said, use ACL for giving permission for group agents. The
permission must be 770 and the group associated to /home/pub must be
administrator. Then give acl rx (setfacl -m g:agent:rx /home/pub) to
/home/pub. This should solve the issue. Make sure your filesystem is mounted
with ACL support.
