NAME

check_path - check a path to ensure that "other" can traverse it

SYNOPSIS

check_path [-v] [path]

DESCRIPTION

When permissions block access to a file, it's often difficult to uncover, because the block may occur at any directory, not just at the final node. This script checks all the directories in path(s); paths which fail are printed.

OPTIONS

If no paths are mentioned on the execution line, check_path reads paths from stdin.

EXAMPLE


% check_path /brtt/danq/gsn/dbmaster/gsn.site
blocked at /net/ament/brtt/danq/gsn:
drwxrwxr--  11 danq  brtt    512 Apr  8 09:05 /brtt/danq/gsn

RETURN VALUES

The result is zero if all paths are ok, 1 if any paths fail.

DIAGNOSTICS

SEE ALSO

Because autodrm(1) usually runs as the autodrm user and is run automatically by sendmail, it's particularly important that paths be readable, and problematic when they're not.
