Hello Friends,

I can't create any file or directory in linux system as a user. What will be the cause and how can I solve the problem?


I tried few commands as for ref.



--starting new bash shell -- level( 1 )



(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@...] $ unalias mkdir

-bash: unalias: mkdir: not found

(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@...] $ ll $(which mkdir)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25060 Dec 24 02:49 /bin/mkdir*

(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@....] $ mkdir new

mkdir: cannot create directory `new': Permission denied

(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@....] $ rpm -qf $(which mkdir)

(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@...] $ touch test

touch: cannot touch `test': Permission denied

coreutils-5.2.1-31.7

(1) /desti/Users/e029001

[e029001@....] $ rpm -qf $(which touch)

coreutils-5.2.1-31.7



Thanks,

[e029001@...] $ ll $(which mkdir)

you dont have access to this directory . its a root directory . you must be root to do this,
of change the directory owner ,
su -
chown e029001:e029001 /desti/Users/e029001

. Voila
now you can make files and directories
