Hello, I am working in the gdal_quickstart at the moment and use the natural_earth data.
For the exercises I need write access to the directory as we create new data with the gdal-tools. DATA_FOLDER="/usr/local/share/data" This is what is defined at the meoment in the file install_gisdata.sh: chmod a+r "$DATA_FOLDER/natural_earth" ## read the data dir chmod 444 $DATA_FOLDER/natural_earth/* ## and all files in it chmod -R +X "$DATA_FOLDER/natural_earth" ## but keep x on directories Is it ok to set : chmod -R u+w "$DATA_FOLDER" ## write the data dir I am fine to set write access only to the /natural_earth firectory too: chmod -R u+w "$DATA_FOLDER/natural_earth" ## write the natural_earth data dir So the user can write to the data dir. Ok - the user could change the data or delete it too.
