Re: rm files owned by root?
if you are in group adm and the /home allows adm group to write to it,
you will be able to remove the directory "test? inside /home/
to be "right" you will need to do this:
as root:
chmod 0700 /home
mkdir /home/test
chmod 0 /home/test
ls -ld /home/test
should show root:root owner of /home/test and /home is owned by root:adm
the permissions of /home 0700
the permissions of /home/test same as before.
now login with id 1001 and try to remove the directory.
