I am leaving for Vegas in 1.5 hours so my mind is clearly elsewhere at the moment...I can't think of the right approach to this problem and hope someone can quickly point it out before I go nuts.
I'm using rsync to sync between two linux systems, one's a test server, the other's a production server. The development server is just a lamp setup that our not so tech savvy web developer pushes his work to to see it in a browser to make sure it renders correctly as he's a dreamweaver user <shudder>. So because he knows crap about linux or what a command line is...I wrote a nifty little webpage that is hosted on the development server that allows him to push and pull data from dev to prod. Somewhere in there the perms are getting screwed. I'm pretty sure it's dreamweaver doing the hosing, but I'll figure that out later, he's out right now and his machine's locked. I need a way to lock the umask on a particular directory to be 754 for all files inside it so that when rsync (using the -p flag) syncs the two and dreamweaver has already hosed the permissions...they dont' get changed on production...there's nothing worse then an irate customer calling and complaining to me that A) our web guy is an idiot, and B) his website won't display images and looks like a$$. Is there a way to do ACL style permissions on a dir without an AFS/DFS setup?
