/var permissions

[rik1551]

Hi,
I'm having a small problem with permissions on a solaris 9 box and I'm not sure what is causing it. As a non-root user doing a ls -la in /var is giving me the following error:

./..: Permission denied

It then lists out the contents of the dir.

Also from within /var issuing a find /tmp gives the following:
find: cannot open /tmp: Permission denied

/var has permissions of 755.

Does anybody know why this is happening?

cheers

Rik

What are the permissions on /?

# ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x  30 root     root        1024 Oct 11 21:41 //code]
