Topic: User webspace problem

[Bjarke]

Hi
I have applied the User Webspace rpm to ver. 5.6 and it works fine
user can upload files to the public_html but when they create  a directory
it gets the permission of 0774 instead of 0755

How can i  correct this problem ?

Thanks in advance

Hmm... well the other option would be this script, that runs every so often to reset the permissions.

It's not pretty, but it works.

The default permissions for files created via Samba should be directory 755 and file 644. This can be changed in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/50homes. To activate the change /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf and then /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart. If the new directories created don't have 755 permissions, nonowners (like the www user) won't have access to the pages created inside. At the very least everyone has to have read access to the files created.

At the bottom of the page is a link to a 50homes.txt file.

Save the file, rename it to 50homes, and place it in

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/

expand, etc.

I am using this at a school with a bunch of users, and the web page permissions work great.

Bjarke...

We create the pages on a samba share. I am assuming your situation is mine.

The issue is one of permissions, and this one with samba took me a while to figure out (I am a little slow), but it works great in our situation.

I don't have an e-smith box in front of me to check, and I have never turned the ftp on with one, but isn't there an ftp.conf similar to the smb.conf?

Sorry...   Tom

[Bjarke]

Yes there is an "ftp conf" called proftpd.conf and yes permissions for the files
is located here.... but not for user created dirs within public_hml ??? they get set to 0774

So you see it's hard to find but i will keep looking

FTP really screws up, you can use teh script provide by loveless to do teh change, but i have found another way

its is using the proftpd.conf file in /etc

here is part of the file
You change this part, i think it is Umask 011 but you change it to 022

    AllowOverwrite on
    Umask 022
