texte = Note to SM:While testing this new install, I noticed that the [writefile] context is not using the correct owner/group. When using the Simple Examples link (/WebCatalog/Examples.tpl), the file created comes out like this:-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 34 Mar 20 08:35 test.htmlNow, you can argue that the world readable is acceptable (although I would prefer u=rw only), but clearly the nobody user should not belong to the root group under any circumstances. I think that the daemon is not setting a group at all for the file, so it is coming out as 0 instead of 99 (as it should). The good news is that if the file already exists and the rights and owner have been changed, the WebCat daemon does not overwrite with its view of reality.John Peacock ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
