Summary: File Permissions Incorrectly Set on Filenames
Beginning with a Dash
Classification: Contribs
Product: SME Contribs
Version: 7.5
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-shared-folders
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
QAContact: [email protected]
I found that clicking 'Save' on the SME Server-Manager panel, which
will normally reset all of the file permissions to the proper settings,
fails to set the permissions on filenames beginning with a dash
character.
The result (in my case) was 'access denied' for valid users.
I temporarily worked around the problem by using "chmod ugo+rw *" in
the folder containing the ill-named files.
No, I would never intentionally name files beginning with a dash
character. But they are being created programmatically by a program
that is out of my control.
I found it somewhat difficult to actually create or view a file named
with a dash as the first character, but this works:
echo "test file" > -testfile.txt
cat ./-testfile.txt
I also verified that this problem does not occur with a standard I-Bay
share.
