Re[2]: [OpenAFS] permissions, symbolic links, ftp

[Ron Croonenberg]

Yes both user and otheruser exist.

btw: I ftp in using the "otheruser" account, and then try to change  directory
to the /home/user/public_html/csc496 directory via that symbolic link

here are the permissions that exist in that directory :
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  faculty rl
  system:anyuser rl
  admin rlidwka
  user rlidwka
  otheruser rlidwk

here are the permissions that exist in the other users directory where the
symbolic links are :
Access list for . is
Normal rights:
  system:anyuser rl
  admin rlidwka
  otheruser rlidwka

With ftp it doesn't seem to work. When I just login as otheruser (a shell) and
cd to the symbolic link, everything just seems to work.

thanks,

Ron
