Linux

What do you see when you ls -l it on server2? Since you're mounting it, and on a UNIX server, it may see the wrong permissions for some reason and refuse to even try to open it.

Hi,
THe servers are Linux - not Unix.

When I ls -l that file (which I get a permission denied when I try to access) from Server2, I get the below

Server2:/mnt/CEMP $ ls -l CEMP_VOD_SG_MAPPING_20110404.txt
-rw-r----- 1 cemp cemp 3185100 Apr 5 11:00 File_20110404.txt

I check my ID as below. As you can see, the dbadmin user is a part of "cemp" group - which means I should be able to access it.

Server2:/mnt/CEMP $ id
uid=501(dbadmin) gid=501(dbadmin) groups=501(dbadmin),504(verticadba),505(cemp) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

But...
Server2:/mnt/CEMP $ more CEMP_VOD_SG_MAPPING_20110404.txt
CEMP_VOD_SG_MAPPING_20110404.txt: Permission denied

Any help with this? This is an unexpected behavior. I checked if selinux would be causing this issue - but selinux is disabled on this server.
Any ideas would be of great help!

Thanks!

What filesystem are the files stored on?

Looks like ext3.
The files on Server1 are mounted on /mnt/landingzone. So when I do a "mount" on Server1, I get below output snippet.

/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 on /mnt/landingzone type ext3 (rw)

Thanks!

Also, when I get into the samba prompt on Server2, I am able to successfully read the data. Check below for Server2.
smb: \> more CEMP_VOD_ASSET_20110410.txt
getting file \CEMP_VOD_ASSET_20110410.txt of size 35996 as /tmp/smbmore.JdEjmt (11717.1 kb/s) (average 11717.4 kb/s)

Only when I "cd" to the shared drive on Server2 (/mnt/CEMP) I am unable to do so - Permission denied.
