OT: SCO Openserver 6.0 permissions question for ordinary users

[Fairlight]

Directories don't just need read/write, they need execute to even be able
to access the directory.

You can have a directory with 0711, and anyone but the owner can access the
directory, and files under it, but cannot see the contents or remove files.

However, if you have 0766, as you do, they could read/write...IF they could
actually access it at all, which they can't.

chmod 777 on those subdirectories.  Or 755 if you can get away without
write permission.  But the 1 bit is mandatory for what you want to do.

You're right, it is Unix 101.  No offence!  :)
