thaks for your data.
I will follow your suggestions and open a sandbox for the user.
Thanks Astrid

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.
Have an earlier step which copies data into a working directory, or use
relative path names to data files on the command line (something like
$HOME/data/ exists as a symlink to /usr/local/share/data/ I think)
AFAIK gdal tools never edit data files in-place, they always make a new map,
so original files stay read-only too.
DATA_FOLDER="/usr/local/share/data"
This is what is defined at the meoment in the file install_gisdata.sh:
chmod a+r "$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 "$DATA_FOLDER" ## write the data dir
No, use g+w if you absolutely must, then make sure the dir is owned by
root.users ... but the user shouldn't be allowed to write there at all.
I am fine to set write access only to the /natural_earth
firectory too:
chmod -R u+w "$DATA_FOLDER/natural_earth" ## write the natural_earth
data dir
So the user can write to the data dir.
No, things should be set up so user works in their own sandbox.
thanks,
Hamish
