file/directory permissions

[linxlvr]

Hi all. Something I am missing here, I'm just not seeing. I'm sure it will be obvious to someone else though.

I create a group foo2
I create a directory /usr/local/foo2 with following perms:
drwxrwx--T 2 root foo2 4096 2011-01-22 09:50 foo2
I add group foo2 to user foobar groups.

The reason I added sticky bit is I wanted multiple users to read and write to this dir, (such as adding a photo or such), but no one to modify someone else's files. I also didn't want all users to even view it.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I understand your question?

What exactly is it that you need help with?

[linxlvr]

Sorry, I gave all the things I did and forgot to mention the original problem...

None the less, the user foobar is not able to write to the directory
/usr/local/foo2

with following perms:
drwxrwx--T 2 root foo2 4096 2011-01-22 09:50 foo2

as mentioned earlier, I created the group foo2, the user foobar is a member of group foo2, the directory is group of foo2

Thanks again.

heh, strange, I've done what you have described here, and it works like a charm. I guess I'm saying I cannot reproduce your problem.

Could you verify that your user foobar actually *is* a member of the group foo2?

Thing is, if you haven't logged all the way out and back in again, the new group won't "take effect"...

[linxlvr]

Well, that was it. I checked the groups the user was in after adding and it showed it as having been added. I suppose on a reboot, everything else was changed. I knew it had to be something simple I just wasn't realizing.
Thanks,
