Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Need help with Couldn't canonicalise: Permission denied error Post 302071034 by dsbeerf on Tuesday 11th of April 2006 02:47:32 PM

'blowtorch' is correct.

You ALSO say this directory hierarchy is MOUNTED. NFS ? From where ? So the users who are trying to access these directories exist on the remote machine ? When the administrator tried it 'manually', was he 'root' ?? [Root will get turned into 'nobody' on the remote machine.]

Just a few thinkg to think about / check.

ALSO. If it is a locally mounted filesystem, what are the permissions of the UNDERLYING directory ??
I do not know about Solaris 10, but Solaris 8 would block you if the UNDERLYING directory was owned by root and accessible ONLY by root. No matter WHAT the mounted directory permissions are.
