Permission Denied

[deronb75]

I was wondering if anyone ever ran into the problem where no matter what the global permissions to a file or directory where, users could not access those files or directories unless they actually owned it. Lets say I have user1 and user2, who belong to the same group and have set their home directories to be 755. I keep getting permission denied whenever user1 tries to go into user2's home directory even though I have set user2 to allow everyone to read his directory. And this is happening with all files not just this home directory example! If anyone has had this problem please let me know how you solved it...thanks

Directories need execute permissions

Thanks a lot A_Lawn_GNOME...it worked! But I am partially a newbie so I have one last question....why would a user need execute to my directories if I only want them to have read access?

In order for a directory to be listed for a user, it has to be executable. Read/write/execute aren't as intuitive for directories as they are for files.
