never mind.... solved it!!!!! didn't realize that the entire 'path' had to be chmod 755/777 up to the script/app that was to be run. thought that it simply had to be the parent dir... thanks! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of bruce Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 1:11 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: linux/security/permissions question.. running a perl script hi... i have an issue where i'm trying to run a perl script without the use of the 'perl' before the script. i'd like to be user 'foo' and be able to '/cat.pl' and have the script run. this works ok when i'm 'root'. however, i get a permission err. $ ./svncopy.pl ./svncopy.pl: permission denied i understand that this is a permission prob, but i can't figure out how to resolve it. 'cat.pl' is owned by user 'foo' and has perms of 755 the dir for 'cat.pl' is owned by user 'foo'... any ideas/thoughts on what to do to resolve this.... thanks... -bruce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
