RE: Authority to READ files in a shared subdirectory of the root

Hi Dave

Adding the authorities to the folder yesterday would not have changed the
authorities on the files already in the folder. Files added since would have
been potentially affected by the changes.

If you are able compare authorities for a file today the authorities on a
file that was there yesterday.

Regards
Evan Harris

Subject: Authority to READ files in a shared subdirectory of the root

My thanks to all who responded. I tried the following and am puzzled by my
success so far:

Gave READ and EXECUTE to shared directory to a userid
Userid not in AUTHL
Yesterday, with the above, user could SEE each of the files in the shared
directory but could not look at the contents
Today, I ran my REXX EXEC that RMVLNK to get rid of all files in shared
directory and repopulate with new files via FTP and MGET.
Today, user can SEE and READ all files in shared directory whereas yesterday
they could not
I"m puzzled... the AUTHL doesn't seem to be needed

I got to read the IBM document again.

FWIW,

Dave
