Grasping a full understanding of setting default Users, Groups
and Masks has alluded me over the years, but now I find myself in
a situation where manually "setting" the file/directory
attributes is becoming a pain.
I understand the fundamentals of the file attributes, though from
time to time I have to review the "sticky bit"; what I do not
understand is where/how the attributes are set when a user
creates or modifies a file/directory. Here is my situation:
My /var/www/html files have been manually set by me to
apache/apache 774. This allows my PHP applications to access the
files, and I assume this is a "good" setting.
Now, my server is connected via Samba to my desktop. If I create
a file, it is todd/todd 744, so Apache cannot access them.
If PHP (Apache) creates or modifies a file, it is apache/apache
755, so I cannot access them (Write/Delete).
Is there a way to resolve this? When I FTP to a friend's
rent-a-server, I can read/write/delete all of the files I have
placed there *and* the same for files touched by PHP (Apache).
My Linux Admin books as well as my Linux books do not appear to
cover this and/or my experience is lacking.
