Hi,

    It seems to bug in the following scenario.

   - created directory
   - Inside directory created a file with no access to users ,groups and
   owners.
   - I logged into Linux machine as a user.
   - from root if try to modify the file ext, it allows me to do even
   though no access is given to anyone. i used mv command here. It modified
   successfully.
   - When i try to view the file from root with the help of cat , it says
   permission denied.

E.g;
mkdir dir1
dir1: touch file1
dir1: chmod oug=  file1(No access is given)
dir1: ls -l
----------- 1 xx yy 0 2012 -06-14 8.23  file1
cd dir1
dir1: mv file1 file.ksh

Please clarify the above .

Thanks!
