Symlink - Permission Denied
- by John Smith
I'm facing an interesting problem with plenty of Permission Denied outputs when using SymLinks
Linux: Slackware 13.1
Directory with Symlink:
root@Tower:/var/lib# ls -lah
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 0 2012-12-02 20:09 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 0 2012-12-01 21:06 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ntop ntop 21 2012-12-02 20:09 ntop - /mnt/user/media/ntop6/
Symlinked Directory:
root@Tower:/mnt/user/media# ls -lah
drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users 1.4K 2012-12-02 19:28 ./
drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users 128 2012-11-18 16:06 ../
drwxrwxrwx 1 ntop ntop 320 2012-12-02 20:22 ntop6/
What I have done:
I have used chown -h ntop:ntop on the ntop directory in /var/lib
Just to be sure, I have chmod 777 to both directories
Permission denied actions:
root@Tower:/var/lib# sudo -u ntop mkdir /var/lib/ntop/test
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/ntop/test': Permission denied
Any ideas?
