[ale] Access rights to directory

[Chris Fowler]

I have and intresting issue.


I did the following as root:


cp /bin/bash /tmp/bash
chmod 4755 /tmp/bash


When I would execute /tmp/bash as a normal user, I wwould not run as root.  I would run the shell but it would be as my normal user.  I've been able to do this in the past.

Has anything changed?


Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the help gentlemen.  I used "chmod -R 777
/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/directory"Â  and that took care of it.
Your assistance is deeply appreciated!
