Re: Permission Problem

Sorry I forgot to mention that. It is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 OS.

I'm completely new to this OS, can you tell me how I can change the permission from where it is mounted from and check where it is mounted from? Thanks.

The output of "df -k" should allow you to find where it is mounted from. If this is a local user, then it might well be mounted from "/export/home/tommy", in which case you can use "chown" on that.

It is usually "/home" that you can't change. I would have expected to be able to change "/home/tommy", unless it is mounted from a different computer or is mounted ro (read only). If it is mounted from a different computer, then you may need to login as root on that computer to change permissions.
