Rights to files inside a directory

[tteknos]

I am trying to give a user read/write/modify rights to a few of the files in a directory, but NOT all of them. After selecting the 3 files I want, and giving the rights, I cannot modify them under the user I gave the access to. Even if I give every right to the user for those 3 files, it says that the file is read-only, and I cannot modify it.

I come to realize that it says the directory itself is read-only, which is why I cannot modify. The directory is not read-only, but I'm assuming that because I set rights for files in the directory, and not rights on the directory itself, Novell sees it as read-only for that user.

Basically, I need to know how to set rights for that directory to let a user view/modify only 3 files. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

sounds more like attributes of the file/directory are set to read-only. Have you tried changing the attributes so that nothing is flagged read-only?

I already stated that NOTHING at all is set to read-only. Nothing. If I give the user read/write/modify rights to everything in the directory, I don't have a problem. I ONLY have a problem when I choose a handful of files instead of the whole directory to set rights to. Someone, anyone? TheLad, where you at! =)

Could it be that you have read only rights set somewhere further down the directory structure.

If the rights are inherited from parent directories dont you end up with whatever the most restrictive set of rights are.

It goes Server>Volume>Directory, so basically the directory I'm trying to set rights to is on the root of the server.
