Excuse me for my patchy linux, but according to the file permissions below, I should be able to cd into the directory.

I am following the installation instructions and running on Fedora 12.

[sakura@medea opt]$ ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root      4096 2010-03-02 22:28 lsb-gtm
drwxr-s--- 3 root openvista 4096 2010-03-03 19:07 openvista
[sakura@medea opt]$ cd openvista/
bash: cd: openvista/: Permission denied
[sakura@medea opt]$

SELinux is disabled... and I am in the following groups (but notice how the output of id differs!!!)

[sakura@medea opt]$ id sakura
uid=500(sakura) gid=500(sakura) groups=500(sakura),501(gtm),502(openvista)
[sakura@medea opt]$ id
uid=500(sakura) gid=500(sakura) groups=500(sakura),501(gtm)

Thanks,

Sam
