I'm trying to create a new folder within the 'guncom' folder but can't. However I can create a new folder in the 'gun' folder.
[gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ ls gun guncom [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ cd guncom [gun(a)LinuxBox guncom]$ mkdir testsharing mkdir: cannot create directory `testsharing': Permission denied [gun(a)LinuxBox guncom]$ cd .. [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ cd gun [gun(a)LinuxBox gun]$ mkdir whozyadaddy [gun(a)LinuxBox gun]$
Any help with this would be appreciated. Gun Caundle

erm... Permissions on guncom? ls -al /home Does the user "gun" have write permissions? I'm guessing no. -- Greig McGill

What are the permissions on the guncom directory and its parents? Use 'ls -lF' command to find out. All directories (which you want to write to) should have both x and w bits set else you won't be able to chdir to them or write to them. Michael
