[PLUG] Checkmate: root Cannot Access Files

[Rich Shepard]

   This one has me stymied: three files (one .c source file, two .h header
files and in two different directories of the same file system) that cannot
be read or have permissions changed by root across the network. The directory
listing for one is:

-rw-r-----  1 rshepard users 4591 2005-02-13 10:13 eigen.c

which looks quite normal to me. However, from my main workstation (on which
the backups run), it's inaccessible. The other three files in that directory
are fine

   However, when I log into the development machine, I can change the mode to
644 which makes it readable from the other host (where it is nfs-mounted).

   Strange -- to me. I'm the owner of the file, so what could be the reason
for this strange behavior?

Color me puzzled,

Rich
