- Hello!
-
- There is a bug in chmod command on HP 9000/700 with HP-UX-8.07. If you make a
- 'chmod +s' to an existing directory, this directory disappears and you have no
- chance to get it back with 'normal' HP-UX commands.
-
- Just try this:
- % mkdir /tmp/test
- % chmod +s /tmp/test
-
- You can use 'fsdb' to investigate the directory containing the lost directory,
- and you can see, that the disappeared directory still exists, but has funny
- permissions. Correcting the permissions with 'fsdb' makes the lost directory
- visable again. Any comments?
-
- Regards
- Thomas Knott
