I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that things involving the /proc file system act in quite the same manner as a real file system. Take this as an example.... (as root, obviously) [root@meimei proc]# pwd /proc [root@meimei proc]# ls -l | grep 1721 dr-xr-xr-x. 8 egreshko egreshko 0 May 23 13:54 1721 [root@meimei proc]# getfacl 1721 # file: 1721 # owner: egreshko # group: egreshko user::r-x group::r-x other::r-x [root@meimei proc]# cd 1721 [root@meimei 1721]# ll cwd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 24 09:50 cwd -> / [root@meimei 1721]# getfacl cwd # file: cwd # owner: root # group: root user::r-x group::r-x other::r-x # file: cwd/var # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x Plus a whole bunch of others that would lead you to believe that the "other" has read permission. Yet as a "normal" user .... [egreshko@meimei 1721]$ ll cwd ls: cannot read symbolic link cwd: Permission denied lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 May 24 09:50 cwd I personally don't have much interest in delving into the behavior of the /proc file system. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
