Topic: BUG: bad permissions in ibay subdirectories

[Hasan Muhammad]

Which is the correct forum for bug reports?


1) admin created an ibay called 'it'
--group: it_g
--write=group, read=group
--local network access

2) From w98, user1 (of group it_g) created a new 1st level directory in the 'it' ibay

3) From w98, within the above 1st level directory, user1 (of group it_g) created a new 2st level directory and a new file

4) From w98, user2 in the same group tried to copy the newly created file from the 1st level directory and received the following error message
'cannot copy file: Access is denied'

4) From login on e-smith server, root observed within the 1st level directroy that the the newly created file and 2nd level directory ownerships were as
owner = user1
group = user1

BUG: I believe e-smith should have created the new file and 2nd level directory ownerships as follows:
owner = user1
group = it_g

Is there any known solution?

Please try the update RPM at:

ftp://ftp.e-smith.net/pub/e-smith/e-smith-4.0/updates/RPMS/noarch/

The file is:

e-smith-base-4.0.12-28.noarch.rpm

Download this file, then apply it using:

rpm -Uhv e-smith-base-4.0.12-28.noarch.rpm
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

then reboot the server.

You will still need to repair any ibays which have incorrect permissions using the workaround which I gave you yesterday.

Please let me know whether this fixes your problem.
