[Orca-users] Re: Orca 0.26 on Solaris 2.7 problem

[Darren Kukulka]

Blair,

Found out what the problem was.  We harden Solaris by setting the 
umask to 027.  Initially, when we first atempted to run Orca, the 
directories were created but the machine specific directory was 
created with the wrong permissions.  Consequently, the script we use 
to start Orca sets the umask to 022 and sets the permissions on the 
files correctly, but the web-server could not access the PNGs - 
because of the machine directory permissions.

Ah, the joys of security !

Thanks for your reply in the interim.

Darren.
