From: PengYu.UT on 17 Dec 2009 18:36 I have a directory of mode 'drwx--Sr-x'. I'm wondering what 'S' means and how to remove this mode.

This has, like, documenation, y'know? Good ole RTFM: $ info ls [ ... search ... ] The file mode bits listed are similar to symbolic mode specifications (*note Symbolic Modes::). But `ls' combines multiple bits into the third character of each set of permissions as follows: `s' If the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit and the corresponding executable bit are both set. `S' If the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit is set but the corresponding executable bit is not set.

But I do note that, except for S, the symbolic modes are listed in man chmod. But neither man page notes that S in the ls display is equivalent to mode sx. --keith -- kkeller-usenet(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information |
