I am having a really tough time understand user/group permissions. I have spent hours reading and trying things. Here is what I have:



Directories Permissions



Input 1: ls -lhd



Output 1:



/var/log: drwxrwxr-x 11 root syslog 4.0K May 10 01:59 .



/var/log/mongosqld: drw-rw-r-- 2 mongosqld logstash 4.0K May 10 03:37 .



Note: I set this up using chown and chgrp.



File Permissions



Input 2: ls -lh



Output 2:



/var/log/mongosqld:



total 12K
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mongosqld logstash 1.4K May 10 03:43 mongosqld.log


Groups:



Input: groups logstash mongosqld



Output:



logstash : logstash
mongosqld : users logstash


My Question



When I try to open a file as the mongosqld user, it tells me open /var/log/mongosqld/mongosqld.log: permission denied. Please tell me where I am going wrong. It will be much appreciated.

          You can’t access anything in /var/log/mongosqld
          (unless you’re running as root)
          because it (the directory) doesn’t have any execute bits set.

            To open a file, I guess you mean you want to look at it's content.



            The open function is not what you want for that. Do man open or open -h to learn what open does.



            To look at a file you can do :




            • head or tail to look at it's first (last) lines


            • less (less is more) to look at it's content (it's a "pager")



            or you can edit it in an editor such as vim or emacs etc..
