Can't read Symbolic link files

Postby MotoTom » Fri Dec 02, 2016 8:43 pm

I replaced my 1.5TB usb HD with a 4TB unit. It is formatted as ext4 and It works just fine under my adm account.

I have other users that I want to be able to read-only from this drive as they did on the old one but it's not working.

The ownership of the drive is the same as it was on the old one (tomb:users) as are the permissions "0744". All of my users are members of "users". But a symbolic link into each users home folder but each is getting "... read:permission denied" error.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Tom

Are the directories 0755 ? Directories have to be executable to be traversed.
