Hi
I've encountered a weird situation where I can't delete a file:
(reproductile on rh9 and fc3, no selinux)
$ id
uid=500(marius) gid=500(marius) groups=500(marius)
mkdir d1
>d1/a.txt
chmod 571 d1
chmod 460 d1/*
ls -al d1/
total 12
dr-xrwx--x 2 marius marius 4096 Dec 8 15:01 .
drwxrwxrwt 17 root root 4096 Dec 8 15:01 ..
-r--rw---- 1 marius marius 0 Dec 8 15:01 a.txt
rm d1/a.txt
rm: remove write-protected regular empty file `d1/a.txt'? y
rm: cannot remove `d1/a.txt': Permission denied
The directory d2 has write permissions for my group, and file it's
writable by group. I belong to that group, why can't the file be
removed?
Thanks in advance for enlightenment
