Hi, I just subscribed to this list so if these questions were answered
previously, I apologize. I'm having some problems checking out a file as
a specific user... I figure the problem is with my ACLs, but I don't
fully understand the error I'm receiving. I'm hoping someone can help.
The file I'm trying to checkout is in a DFS directory. I'm able to check
it out with my user account which is part of a group "staff" (everyone
in that group can successfully check it out). I've written a script to
checkout the file, make some edits, and check it back in. Only problem
is that when I try to run the script as local root (via cron) on a
machine, it has problems.
The error I'm getting is:
co: portlist: permission denied on parent directory
Now, I know that local root doesn't have write permission in DFS space
by default, but I used acl_edit to give it access.
Some lines from local root's kinfo:
Identity: hosts/ananke.umiacs.umd.edu/self
Groups: none
subsys/dce/dts-servers
I used acl_edit to give user:hosts/ananke.umiacs.umd.edu/self and
group:subsys/dce/dts-servers the same permissions as group:staff, but
nothing seems to work. The entire tree up to that point also has rx
permissions for everyone. I can cd into the directory and look at the
file, just can't check it out for editing.
I gave the local root permissions to another file that it previously
wasn't allowed to edit and the change took effect... I was able to write
to the file. Is there something else that co looks at that I'm missing?
Thanks.
