I just noticed that on Centos 4, a file's group permissions hide the other permissions if you are a member of the group. I would think they would be OR(ed) together? For example:
drwx---r-x 1 NotMe GroupIAmIn 6 Jul 28 04:51 someDirectory
If I am a member of GroupIAmIn
I am unable to cd
to someDirectory
even though other
permissions allow this.
I'm wondering why this is the current behavior (what is the motivation) and whether this is standard Linux behavior?
I might be confused, but isn't he asking why he can't enter the folder even though he's actually in the group owning the folder? Where does it specify that "GroupIAmIn" does not have access? – pzkpfw – 2013-05-28T07:22:32.873
