    I don't think this is correct. I am not sure if all the shells do this, but I know pcboard does. I checked as a guest if you type remove, it will allow you to delete any file.

    It sounds like maybe your guest account has the 'R' (Remove any file) exemption. That's not normal. You should fix that. But I don't see any issue with the shell.

    and... so what was the root-cause of your reported issue?

    I had guest user with R flag not enabled. I also made sure they can’t upload. I must of done it without realizing it.

    What you're saying doesn't make any sense. Are you saying that your Guest user *did* have the 'R' *exemption*?

    For some reason I must of took off the R exemption.

    Still not making sense.

    Normally, a Guest user would *not* have the 'R' exemption. The 'R' exemption means a user can remove any file. Are you saying you *had* the 'R' exemption on your Guest account before and now you don't or the other way around?

    What reason was that? It's not like it happens accidentally, is it?
