When I do cd mydir I get this error:

-bash: cd: mydir: Permission denied

When I do ls -latr | grep mydir I get this:

drw-r--r--  7 neubert neubert       4096 Jan 20 15:37 mydir

ie. I'm the owner of the directory and I have read permission, so why can't I access the directory?

If I do chmod -R 755 mydir I can then do cd mydir without issue but why wouldn't it work when the direcory permissions are 644?

Any ideas? I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 in WSL2 if that makes a difference.
