Hey,
We've got quite a strange problem on our hands here. We are running an HP 9000/800 B.11.00.
I've just created a new group in /etc/group which i called, let's say
newgroup . Then I added 4 users to the group, namely
user1, user2, user3, user4 . The command grpchk shows no strange things (the maximum one of those users is used in other groups is 14 times, the group
newgroup is the 40th group I've created in /etc/group)
Then I created a new directory on the server called
updir . In that directory I've created an other directory called
lowdir . Then I gave the following commands:
chown -R user1:newgroup /updir
chmod -R 770 /updir
Now when checking the permissions for the 2 dirs they give the exact same result (drwxrwxrwx & user1:newgroup). All seems fine...
But the problem is that only user1 can enter /updir and the /updir/downdir.
User2, user3 and user4 can only enter /updir, NOT the /updir/downdir... very strang.
