Hi all, I have installed a neat little perl script called "TLBMP - Tobi's Live BookMarks Presenter" by Tobias Oetiker (http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/) which places all your netscape bookmarks into a nice HTML page with search facility. It works as a CGI script but that means that it need to be able to see your bookmarks file. It works when I have set:
drwx--x--x 5 mikel mikel 664 Apr 1 11:51 .netscape -rw-r--r-- 1 mikel mikel 117660 Apr 1 11:41 .netscape/bookmarks.html but when you fire up Netscape after a short while the permissions get changed back to what Netscape wants to: drwx------ 5 mikel mikel 656 Apr 1 11:49 .netscape -rw------- 1 mikel mikel 117660 Apr 1 11:41 .netscape/bookmarks.html Naturally then the bookmark CGI script can't read them. I thought of getting the CGI script to read a symlink to the netscape bookmarks file but that doesn't work as the CGI script runs as wwwrun in nogroup and still can't read the symlink once the permissions change. Has anyone come across this problem of Netscape changing permissions when it runs ? How could I work around it? I dont want to use a cron job to make a copy of the bookmarks.html file with the right permissions regularly - that would be messy :-) I am using the latest version and Tobi's site does not have anything on it about this problem.
