I have a directory:

drw-rw---- 2 myuser somegroup 4096 Jul 26 20:04 share

Which I also made myself (myuser) the owner of. However if I try to move into this directory with cd I get:

-bash: cd: share: Permission denied

I'm not a linux guru but shouldn't I have access with these permissions? What am I doing wrong?

As comments say, apparently I'm really a noob and to enter a directory and list files one need execute privs on said directory.
