[arch-general] Understanding permissions

[Maurí­cio]

Hi,

I'm using lighttpd as http server, and it
complains about permissions when I ask for
a file on my public_html directory. Using
strace on lighty I get:

stat("/home/mauricio/public_html", 0x7fffceb2dcb0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)


However, using ls:

ls -ld public_html public_html/index.html

drwxr-xr-x 3 mauricio users 4096 2009-04-13 19:41 public_html
-rw-r--r-- 1 mauricio users 4075 2009-04-13 19:41 public_html/index.html


Since 'r' is there in all users field, should
not every user, including 'http' used by
lighty, be able to read?

Thanks for your help,
Maurício
