RE: [cobalt-users] 550 CHMOD not allowed

["Glenn" <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the Domain has Frontpage extensions enabled, and the directories were
created using Frontpage, you will not have the correct permissions to CHMOD
it. What I tell my clients is, FTP in and create the directories, then add
content using Frontpage.

Hope this helps.

Did you verify who is the owner these "random" folders?  The user "admin"
has less privileges than "root".  If a folder is owned by "root", admin
won't be able to chmod on it.  su as root, then chmod.
