Hi, I need advice on fine tuning some directory permissions of a 7.4.1 installation (on slackware):
The server runs as user "slimuser". I've extracted from the tarball, and as per the usual practice of separating the application code from runtime files I've: * relocated obviously "runtime" data files, as defined by the server flags --logdir, --prefsdir, --cachedir into various dirs under /var, and changed their ownership to slimuser * left the main tree (/opt/squeezeboxserver) owned by root, readonly for slimuser (this directory contains the rest of the tarball, ie. slimserver.pl, Bin, CPAN, MySQL, et al) This is working fine but I'm wary that sooner or later the server, running as slimuser, will expect to be able to write into /opt/squeezeboxserver. I notice for example that the redhat install relocates the various .conf files into /etc/squeezeboxserver. Can anyone advise on whether these .conf files and/or any others need to be writeable by slimuser? -- slackgraham ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackgraham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24814 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70477 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
