I want to know what i can set up so that root user can read everything. On my Solaris systems root can read the following directory.
drwxrwx--- 408 icsrc icarc0 36864 Aug 21 07:24 dev
drwxrwsr-x 7 icsrc icarc0 4096 Aug 4 1998 test
But on my linux systems it gets:
[root@machine archives]# cd dev
bash: cd: dev: Permission denied
Is there a difference in the way linux mounts? Or is there an option to let root user mount this?
Frank
What do the permissions look like now? ( ls -l )
Just like the post above:
drwxrwx--- 408 icsrc icarc0 36864 Aug 21 07:24 dev
from solaris root gets in fine, from RH linux no go. I am trying to figure out the difference...
They are both talking to a NetApp FAS940 running OS 7.1
Maybe I don't understand your question, but when you login to Solaris as root, are you in the / directory?
When you login as root in RH linux are you in /root or / or archives/?
Are you talking about an NFS volume?
Normally root is mapped to nobody in an NFS mount, as root should only be trusted on your local machine.
