Quoting Jake Anderson <[email protected]>:
Does anyone have any thoughts on removing the sticky bit on the
/var/tmp directory and setting it to 777?
Something about it doesn't sit quite right with me but I can't so
far find any negative impact of doing so.
Perhaps look at one of the more advanced access control setups, they
extend the traditional unix user/group access and let you get fairly
freeform.
I thought about acls, setfacl might do what we want but I was after
the simplest possible option. I might still have a look at this one.
Alternately although not pretty could you not add your cleanup user
to the group of the users? IE add cleanup to the frank group?
That was the first thing I thought (well the second after sudo), but
group perms won't make a difference on the directory with the sticky
bit set.
Thanks,
Craig
