Here is a unix file directory background I need to give you:

There is this private directory with security 700. Within this private directory is a folder called hwk1. Now with security setting 700 on this private directory, i cant access or ls this folder (as you proably already know). So here is my question.

Even though it's a private directory with security 700, how can I find out if the folder "hwk1" exists in the private directory with the security setting 700 on the parent "private" folder?

Please help! I need to find the answer to this ASAP.

depends on the os...there are particular files that could 'possibly' contain a filesystem structure layout that would point out what you are looking for, this is also dependent on the admin's thoroughness

os?

su to root, then you will be able to see the contents of the folder.

su - root
enter password
ls -l /private-dir/hwk1
