Category: MonetDB - GDK Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marcin Zukowski (e-r00) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: GDK: file/dir creation mask Initial Comment: It would be nice to be able to specify that all MonetDB-created files and directories have a given mask, e.g. 664/775. This is useful e.g. when multiple people from the same group want to work on the same database with MonetDB. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sjoerd Mullender (sjoerd) Date: 2006-01-17 14:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=43607 You cannot get more permissions through the use of umask. Umask only removes permissions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcin Zukowski (e-r00) Date: 2006-01-17 14:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=607094 One more comment. Maybe I do something wrong, but umask also doesn't influence file creation. umask 0002 Mserver --dbfarm=$PWD --dbname=tmp ls -l tmp/bat/BACKUP I get -rw-r--r-- 1 marcin ins 54 Jan 17 14:23 BBP.dir I think possibility to specify umask for files/dir in MonetDB could also be used to protect one's data, e.g. by running Mserver --umask=077 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcin Zukowski (e-r00) Date: 2006-01-16 11:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=607094 umask doesn't work. There are places in GDK when 755 is hardcoded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fabian (mr-meltdown) Date: 2006-01-16 11:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=963970 How about setting the umask before starting the Mserver process? I think allowing this is potentially dangerous, so it should not be facilitated in any way... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=482471&aid=1407204&group_id=56967 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
