Not able to cd into world-readable directory on NFS












3















There is a directory created by root, and I am not root user. But I am not able to do a cd into that directory in spite of having execute permission for others. Why so? Has the write permission on others has anything to do here?



>$ ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 8 root root 4096 Aug 10 2010 abc/
>$ cd abc
-ksh: cd: abc: [Permission denied]
>$


It is a mount point. From the mount command, I see NFS.

    Then the mounted filesystem has a root directory that is not readable/excutable for your user ID.

The directory abc is a mountpoint of a filesystem belonging to a different server, hence the permissions of the filesystem being shared overrides the permissions set on the mountpoint. The user(me) does not have the execute permission on the original filesystem and hence not able to get into the directory.
