Hi,
we are having trouble with the permissions returned by the server for the stat
request. The circumstances are the following:
* the server is run by user aUser on a linux 2.6 box
* the client is run by aUser on the same host as the server
* the file in question is readable by the group users which aUser belongs to
(on the actual UNIX file system)
* the file is not readable by the user aUser who is the owner of the file:
----r----- 1 aUser users 5932809 2006-04-30 18:01 Error.root
The server returns that the file is readable, but the actual access to the
file is denied by the OS. This is the result of the treatment of the
different access privileges for users/group/others in
XrdXrootdProtocol::StatGen.
Should this be fixed or are different OSs treating the different privileges
with different priority, so that a coherent treatment is difficult?
Cheers,
Jan Erik,
Andreas
