Thank you for the quick response! The problem happens both if I make a directory and make it readable only by me via a normal shell as well as via xrdfs. When I make it via bash, ``` [lavezzo@XXX]$ mkdir testing_permissions [lavezzo@XXX]$ echo "hello world!" > testing_permissions/file.txt echo "hello world" > testing_permissions/file.txt [lavezzo@XXX]$ chmod -R 700 testing_permissions/ [lavezzo@XXX]$ ll total 24 drwx--S--- 2 lavezzo lavezzo 4096 Aug 8 06:56 testing_permissions [lavezzo@XXX]$ ll testing_permissions/ total 2 -rwx------ 1 lavezzo lavezzo 12 Aug 8 06:56 file.txt [lavezzo@XXX]$ ls testing_permissions/ file.txt [lavezzo@XXX]$ cat testing_permissions/file.txt hello world [lavezzo@XXX]$ xrdfs root://<REDIRECTOR>/ [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] / > cd /store/user/lavezzo [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls -l d--- 2023-08-08 10:56:44 4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions/file.txt [ERROR] Server responded with an error: [3005] Unable to open directory /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions/file.txt; not a directory [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > cat testing_permissions/file.txt hello world [<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ``` and via xrdfs, ``` [REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > mkdir testing_permissions2 [REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls -l d--- 2023-08-08 10:56:44 4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions d--- 2023-08-08 11:00:26 4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions2 [REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions2 [lavezzo@XXX]$ echo "hello world" > testing_permissions2/file.txt [lavezzo@XXX]$ xrdfs root://REDIRECTOR/ [REDIRECTOR:1094] / > cd /store/user/lavezzo [REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions2 [lavezzo@XXX]$ ls testing_permissions2 file.txt [lavezzo@XXX]$ ``` What would be preventing the server from reading the directory? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/2069#issuecomment-1669407235 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
