Hello, First just plain directory with mode=700:
drwx------ 43 root wheel 2048 Sep 7 22:24 /backups/ Then I mount filesystem under /backups: /dev/sd0i on /backups type ffs (local, softdep) drwxr-x--- 43 root wheel 2048 Sep 7 22:24 /backups/ The permissions changed, so far good because I've changed the modes of the mounted volume to 750. Then as a normal user belonging to 'wheel' I do: $ ls -la /backups/ ls: /backups/..: Permission denied [rest of the files are listed normally, including '.'] $ stat /backups/.. stat: /backups/..: Permission denied Doing those as root is fine. I asked my friend to reproduce this on Linux but he was unable get any weird errors, therefore I'm asking here. :-) -- Antti Harri
