Re: [SLE] Permission Denied problem on modprobe.conf.local



To see if it is a directory, use the following command:

ls -ld /etc/modprobe.conf.local

The -d tells ls to list the directory and not the contents of the
directory.

/etc/modeprobe.conf.local is a file on my system 10.1.

Can anyone explain this to me and possibly give me a cure for this
ailment?

i'm suspecting that modprobe.conf.local is a directory. A file won't
show this error via 'ls' unless perhaps the filesystem is corrupt.
e.g.:

stephan@owl:~> touch foo.bar
stephan@owl:~> chmod 0000 foo.bar
stephan@owl:~> l foo.bar
---------- 1 stephan users 0 2006-10-17 06:04 foo.bar

(the point being - no error)

assuming modprobe.conf.local is a dir, try:

chmod 0755 modprobe.conf.local
