I'm still amazed at how little this command hasn't gotten around - it is a real beautiful tool!

Try doing a namei -m /var/adm/sa/sar12 and see if the hobbit user has the necessary access to read the file (and can execute directories up to it!)

As an alternative to namei you can do...

ls -l /var ls -l /var/log ls -l /var/log/syslog7

and then give me the print outs. This will confirm the theory to see if your hobbit can read the /var/log/syslog7 file or not.

As an alternative to namei you can do...

ls -l /var
ls -l /var/log
ls -l /var/log/syslog7

and then give me the print outs.  This will confirm the theory

to see if your hobbit can read the /var/log/syslog7 file or not.

Try doing a namei -m /var/adm/sa/sar12 and see if the hobbit user has the necessary access to read the file (and can execute directories up to it!)
