https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273929 Summary: Leafnode/SuSEconfig: flip-flop of permissions for /var/spool/news Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bjoern@cs.tu-berlin.de QAContact: qa@suse.de There is a flip-flop situation for the permissions of Leafnode's spool directory /var/spool/news Leafnode itself (tested with fetchnews) switches the permissions of /var/spool/news to 04755 (drwsr-xr-x). This is defined in leafnode-1.11.6/miscutil.c:123-131: static struct { const char* name; mode_t mode; } dirs[] = { {"", 04755 }, {"interesting.groups", 02775 }, {"leaf.node", 0755 }, {"failed.postings", 02775 }, {"message.id", 0755 }, {"out.going", 0755 }, {"temp.files", 0755 }, }; SuSEconfig switches the permissions of /var/spool/news back to 0775. This is defined in "/etc/permissions:86: /var/spool/news news:news 775 The news spool is also used by INN (if installed instead of leafnode). I think, the permissions for /var/spool/news from /var/spool/news (0775 drwxrwxr-x) are good for all situations. So I suggest to patch leafnode-1.11.6/miscutil.c (see attached patch). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
