Troubleshooting Solving Browsing Problems

11.3.1.6Changing UNIX System Access Permissions

You can use the uchmod command from a client computer to change the UNIX system access permissions for files and directories.

With the uchmod command, you enter only the access permissions you want to change. You do not have to enter all of the permission characters. For example, to change the write permission on a file named budget so that it cannot be modified, you would enter the following command:

uchmod -w budget

11.3.1.7Maintaining Permissions for Specific Files

Some programs, such as Microsoft Word, maintain temporary files by renaming the source file to a temporary name. Then, when the user saves the file, these programs create a new file with the name of the source file. The temporary file is then deleted.

The permissions that have been assigned to a specific file are not assigned to the new file which has the same file name. These permissions apply only to the original file which was renamed to the temporary file name and then deleted. The updated file is treated as a completely new file by Advanced Server which means it inherits the permissions of the directory in which it resides.

Files that are likely to go through this kind of updating process should be maintained in directories that have the permissions you want these files to inherit.
