Re: cannot access folder though I have right

Thanks Andreas.

Even if I logout and login manytimes, I still cannot access the folder.

However, after I reboot the CentOS5, I can access the folder.

I have to say, this immediately reminds me Windoze, where reboot is a must
for many scenarios.

Is there an explaination why a linux system needs reboot before the group
access right is allowed?

The script I wrote to create a new svn project is in the following. I always
su to root to execute this script since the commands groupadd and usermod
are root commands.

======== scripte createproject.sh ======
#!/bin/sh -v
echo Usage: createproject projectname username1 [username1 username2
username3 username4]

if [ $# -gt 4 ]
then
echo too many parameters
exit 1
fi

if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo too less parameters
exit 1
fi

svnadmin create /home/svn/$1

 groupadd $1
 usermod -a -G $1 $2
if [ $# -eq 3 ]; then usermod -a -G $1 $3; fi
if [ $# -eq 4 ]; then usermod -a -G $1 $4; fi

chown -Rv $2 /home/svn/$1

 chgrp -Rv $1 /home/svn/$1

 chmod -Rv g+rws /home/svn/$1

cd /tmp

svn checkout file:///home/svn/$1

cd $1
svn mkdir doc
svn mkdir paper
svn mkdir src_ampl
svn mkdir src_c
svn mkdir src_matlab

svn propset svn:ignore . -R -F ~/ignorelist
svn commit -m "created project"

cd ..

rm -fr $1

======

All the best,
