Subject: A Unix question. (Slightly off-topic)

A ran into a problem today with a system running SCO 5.0.5m.  I can not figure
it out, and it's driving me nuts.  (Yes, I have looked on the 'Net, I can't find
anything.)

I logon as root, and I go into "/programs" and type "ls" I see a list of files.
They are owned by several different users, with several different permissions,
types, sizes, etc.  I chmod *everything* 777.  (From root, I type, "chmod -R 777
programs".)

Then I logon as another user, slate, and go into that same exact directory
"/programs" and type "ls".  It gives me a list of *SOME* of the files.  (About
70%.)  If I type "ls <anything>*" it will tell me "no such file or directory".

Basically, there are a handful of files, that are virtually "hidden" to all
other users except root.  Even after chmod'ing everything 777.


Any ideas?

I appreciate any response.
