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
