Thanks Andreas. Even if I logout and login manytimes, I still cannot access the folder.
However, after I reboot the CentOS5, I can access the folder. I have to say, this immediately reminds me Windoze, where reboot is a must for many scenarios. Is there an explaination why a linux system needs reboot before the group access right is allowed? The script I wrote to create a new svn project is in the following. I always su to root to execute this script since the commands groupadd and usermod are root commands. ======== scripte createproject.sh ====== #!/bin/sh -v echo Usage: createproject projectname username1 [username1 username2 username3 username4] if [ $# -gt 4 ] then echo too many parameters exit 1 fi if [ $# -lt 2 ] then echo too less parameters exit 1 fi svnadmin create /home/svn/$1 groupadd $1 usermod -a -G $1 $2 if [ $# -eq 3 ]; then usermod -a -G $1 $3; fi if [ $# -eq 4 ]; then usermod -a -G $1 $4; fi chown -Rv $2 /home/svn/$1 chgrp -Rv $1 /home/svn/$1 chmod -Rv g+rws /home/svn/$1 cd /tmp svn checkout file:///home/svn/$1 cd $1 svn mkdir doc svn mkdir paper svn mkdir src_ampl svn mkdir src_c svn mkdir src_matlab svn propset svn:ignore . -R -F ~/ignorelist svn commit -m "created project" cd .. rm -fr $1 ====== All the best, Michael Chen On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 2:53 AM, Andreas Tscharner < andreas.tschar...@metromec.ch> wrote: > > Subject: cannot access folder though I have right > > > > Though I am a member of the group "shortfall", and there are > > group access rights (rwS) for the folder db/rev/1, I cannot > > access it.
