Description Ulhas Surse 2014-05-27 14:37:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
The permissions on the directory must be set to allow read and write access to both the owner and the group. The owner should also have execute access to the directory. The permissions are set using the chmod command. The following command arguments set the required permissions on the /exports/iso directory.

# chmod 0755 /exports/iso

Now this indicates that 755 are the permissions that i ought to set (User rwx, Group r-x, Other r-x) but if you read the description of the functionality required it sounds like 760 (User rwx, Group rw-, Other ---) are the permissions required.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Installation guide RHELV 3.3

Actual results:
# chmod 0760 /exports/iso

Expected results:
# chmod 0755 /exports/iso
