Can we follow netiquette here, and:

The best way to test this is most likely to su to the devmon user and try a=
n=20
access the file. You don't say what Unix you're using (eg Solaris's su has=
=20
no -s option), but under Linux you may want to do something like this as=20
root:

root@host # su -s /bin/bash - devmon
devmon@host $ cat /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts

If you don't see the contents of the bb-hosts file, then your devmon user m=
ay=20
not have rights to "enter" all the parent directories. chmod a+x all the=20
parent directories, or add devmon to the hobbit group or similar to fix thi=
s.


=46lavour to your local settings (username devmon runs as etc.).
