Im running solaris 2.4 and have a real buggy problem with one partition
/opt.
when i cd into /opt and do a pwd "can't determine current working
directory" is returned. When I do a cd ../ "permission denied" is returned.
When I truss cd ../ I get error 13 EACCES 'can't stat cd ../ ..

Can anyone tell me what causes this and how to fix it?

thanx

Unmount the directory and change the mode of the underlying mountpoint:

umount /opt (if this fails, you need to start kill processes,
or boot into single user mode)

chmod 755 /opt

Check using ls -ld /opt to see the permissions. Also check if it is
automounted. I've seen this before when a directory was automounted
incorrectly. Let me know how you get on...
