Hi all,
I am having an issue with socket file permissions...
So here's a mockup of code that shows the problem:
$ cat sun.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
#define SOCKET "./.socket"
int main()
{
struct sockaddr_un addr;
struct stat st;
mode_t u;
int s;
/* create a UNIX socket */
if ((s = socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
perror("socket");
return 1;
}
memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
addr.sun_family = PF_UNIX;
strcpy(addr.sun_path, SOCKET);
unlink(SOCKET);
u = umask(0);
if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr*) &addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0) {
perror("bind");
return 1;
}
umask(u);
if (fchmod(s, 0666) < 0)
printf("fchmod: %m\n");
if (fstat(s, &st) < 0) {
perror("fstat");
return 1;
}
printf("fstat mode = %03o\n", st.st_mode);
if (stat(SOCKET, &st) < 0) {
perror("stat");
return 1;
}
printf("stat mode = %03o\n", st.st_mode);
return 0;
}
$ gcc -Wall -o sun sun.c
Now, if I run this code in my Cygwin home directory (and any directory that I
create using "mkdir..." under it),
I am getting the expected results:
$ ~/sun
fstat mode = 140666
stat mode = 140666
$ ls -l .socket
srw-rw-rw-+ 1 ANTON None 0 Jul 1 01:19 .socket=
However, if I run it elsewhere (different drive "cd /cygdrive/g/cygwin" -- it's
NOT where Cygwin is installed,
just a folder that keeps files for Cygwin development, the installation is on
C:\Cygwin64), I cannot predict
the results. What's weird is that fstat and stat report different file modes.
$ pwd
/cygdrive/g/cygwin
$ ~/sun
fstat mode = 140666
stat mode = 140666
$ ls -l .socket
srw-rw-rw-+ 1 ANTON None 0 Jul 1 01:24 .socket=
So all's good here, BUT:
$ mkdir subdir
$ cd subdir
$ pwd
/cygdrive/g/cygwin/subdir
$ ~/sun
fstat mode = 140666
stat mode = 140664
$ ls -l .socket
srw-rw-r--+ 1 ANTON None 0 Jul 1 01:25 .socket=
Note that fstat lied!
For some reason getfacl returns "Not supported", so I could not investigate
with that, but I'm showing below
the icacls outputs for both /cygwin/g/cygwin and /cygdrive/g/cygwin/subdir with
their .socket files, respectively.
At any rate, it looks like fstat, despite reporting the mode, wasn't actually
able to bake it on disk
using those insanely complicated Windows permissions.
What's more insane, is that using the chmod command from shell, I'm able to
change the permissions to 0666,
and it sticks:
$ pwd
/cygdrive/g/cygwin/subdir
$ chmod 0666 .socket
$ ls -l .socket
srw-rw-rw-+ 1 ANTON None 0 Jul 1 01:25 .socket=
Any insights will be highly appreciated!
Thanks.
