Well I created a test program to see what authorities are needed to open a file for read only. Turns out that the file is not the problem, but the directory. While the users had read access to the directory, they did not have *RX.
Why would you give users *R access but not *X access to a directory? Doesn't make any sense to me. You want the users to be able to read the list of filenames, but not be able to use them?
So to use the IFS, the users need *RX to the directories and *R to the file for read only.
Yep.
To create a file users will need *RWX to the last directory in the path and *RX to the directories above.
Yep.
I want to thank everyone for their incites and URLs to the documentation. No where I read did it say you need *RX to the directory containing the file in which you want to read. Argh!
Hmmm... I've read that several times, though I can't remember where. I didn't realize that it was the problem you were encountering. Sorry, I should've suggested that possibility when you first brought it up.
