Directories must be marked executable to be used properly. Even root has to deal with that. My guess is that a corrupted filesystem combined with a directory not set with the +x flag is the problem. Succeeding at deleting the directory may not have completely solved the problem. I think it needs an fsck. The difficulty is that on big iron, dismounting a fs may be difficult, and rebooting impossible. Tell your sysadmin and let them make the decision. They probably ought to know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
