Hello,
I need to know if there is something I am missing about file permission as I
believe I am seeing some strange stuff on my system. I have a directory as
follows:
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Mar 10 13:35 temp
In this directory I have a file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33test
As a normal user should I be able to rename this file? I believe that only
root should be able to modify this file but as a normal user I am able to
rename it without elevated privileges as so:
temp $ mv 208-109-248-33test 208-109-248-33-mv
[Sat Mar 10 13:41:05] /temp
temp $ lt 208*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33-mv
How is this possible? If it is possible what am I missing or not
understanding? Thnx.
