Title: PermissionsFiles in amuled Incoming Directory
Post by: goauld on June 29, 2005, 04:00:10 PM

i have amuled installed under a linux account called amuled, and a script in init.d starting the amule daemon at linux boot under the account amuled, it works ok, all downloaded
files goes to /home/amuled/.aMule/Incoming ,

The problem is that files are ever created with this permissions:
rw----r-T   amuled amuled

and i want

rw-rw-r--   amuled amuled

how to achieve this?

i edited amule.conf and changed the line:
PermissionsFiles=644
i checked values like 666 777 600 etc.  nothing of this worked

who knows an answer for this Question?

Thank you

Had the same problem and couldn't find a way to do it through aMule settings so i wrote a script which sets the rights of all files in a directory at a user defined timeintervall to whatever rights i want.
If you're not used to shell scripts i could post it here for you. But perhaps someone elses solved it with aMule settings.

Greetings,
Chris

well pretty easy answer :)

the file and folder persmissions are saved as dec not as ocatal what 777 is

so just use kcal or wahtever to calculate the right value :)

for example

if you wnat 777 use this as oct in kcal and then convert it to oct which is 511

so
666 -> 438

and so on :)

make sure you stop amule(d) before you cahnge that

Title: i still dont get it

you give me some light with the octal thing but it still dont works
511 gives me rwxr-xr-x

i tried again lots of combinations and the best one was 511, maybe the umask defined in $home/.bash_profile is playing against me, it is set to 002 and i dont know what can a i do so none of the combination gave me a g+w or o+w and the T bit appears sometimes.. this is very frustrating and
confusing thing

on the other hand i dont like scripts doing things at specified time intervals

i found the solution to the problem

after create .profile .bashrc .bash_profile in the amuled $homedir specifing umask = 002 wich should permit a group +w permission ... it didnt worked!

the thing was, my UMASK global environment variable is set to 022 for all users, and the comand i
used in the init script por starting amuled at bootup was

su amuled -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/amuled -f" &

but the command sucks because "su" dont reads the variables specified in the user homedir BUT the global ones.

for "su" to read the user homedir variables the right command should be:

su - amuled -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/amuled -f"

so, with that and the octal thing it worked
i hope not to screw my head with things like this very often
bye
