Re: Re: How do I generate a listing of all users who can access a directory?

Hmm, I was thinking of working from root out, trimming the hash, since I've got a directory tree I'm anotating. Going from the file/directory down to the root would work for the general "Why can't this user access this file question" better. I'll try it both ways and see which is faster.

If you just want to check occasionally whether a particular user can access a file or directory, I have a script for that here:
