umask issue / world-writable files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've recently noticed that funcd and certmaster seem to be creating files
mode 666.  For example:

-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1346 Apr 14 17:00 /var/lib/certmaster/certmaster/certs/foo.bu.edu.cert
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root    0 Apr 14 17:09 /var/lib/func/status-0
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root    0 Apr 19 04:25 /var/log/func/audit.log
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root    5 Apr 14 16:21 /var/run/certmaster.pid
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root    5 Apr 19 04:25 /var/run/funcd.pid

I am using the latest EPEL packages for CentOS 5.  None of these files are
installed as part of the RPM, so it's not a packaging issue.  They're
running as root, and root's umask is 0022.

Anyone else seeing this?  Any clue where to point the blame stick?  Is
something in the code incorrectly modifying the umask of the process?

cheers,
- Paul
