Permissions for Directories and Subdirectories
Is it possible to have a directory owned (by root) with permissions drwx------
and then have a sub directory of rwxrwxrwx.

I know that this may be soo simple but I had no luck googling it.

Thanks for your help

It's very possible to have directories setup like this.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -ld junk/
drwx------  3 root root 4096 Aug  7 17:37 junk/
[root@localhost ~]# ls -l junk/
total 4
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Aug  7 17:37 junk1
[root@localhost ~]#

But no, I don't think any other user could write to the directory with 777 permissions if it was below the directory owned by root with 700 permissions.
