As an apache
user, I was trying edit some files owned by a different user, lets call it docroot
drwxrwxrwx 2 docroot docroot 327 Feb 15 20:34 .
drwxr-xr-- 53 docroot docroot 8192 Jan 31 17:49 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 docroot docroot 1453 Jun 6 2022 targetfile
shell:id -Gn
apache docroot
but was unable to modify targetfile echo "I should be allowed" >> targetfile
or create a file there with echo "hmm" > newfile
or with touch newfile
as it would result in
Permission Denied
I just casually tried again, everything worked, I was able to create or modify files but then suddenly it stopped working again,
Now have files owned by apache that I cannot remove or change with -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache
perms, whats wrong?
I don't have sudo/su access,
OS: Centos 7.9.2009
