I made one more really interesting observation. Only the /var directory and subdirectories of /var directory create this error. The other directories such as /usr and /tmp lets the users write (upload) new files without a problem. The permissions on the /var directory are drwxr-xr-x. When I change the permissions to drwxrwxrwx, it still doesn't let users (other than root) write files into /var. When I change the permissions on the /usr directory to drwxrwxrwx though, it works perfectly. I wonder what it is with /var that causes this problem. I appreciate any insight.

After I try to upload the file (write the file) it gives the error but still puts a file with the same name and "0 size" in the directory, but doesn't copy the contents of the file. Just writes a 0 sized file for some reason. Any ideas? > >-Mete > >---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- >From: "Mete Kural" <metek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx >Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 08:37:28 +0000 > >>Thank you very much for all your feedback. >> >>>Is it a specific area that a specific user cannot write to, or a specific user >>>that cannot write anywhere or.... >> >>Any user other than root cannot write to that directory, but they can write to the /tmp directory. The /tmp directory has drwxrwxrwt permission and the directory that I'm trying to write to which doesn't work has drwxrwxrwx permission. So permissions are wide open. I don't know how it could be a permissions problem. Also when there is a permissions problem, SSH usually reports "Access Denied". In this case it says it's an undefined error. >> >>>How are you authenticating, via password or key? >> >>I'm authenticating with a password. >> >>>Any chance you employ quotas ?
