Hi,
I have script which install my application in /opt/myapp directory.
This script check if user is root so it can set permissions to read
and access as executable. Everything works fine. After installation I
can run this application, but It doesn't has access to the internet. I
must manually set owner to whole application directory: "sudo chown
MY_NAME -R /opt/myapp". Now, I have access to internet. Does anyone
know how to properly prepare installation script which set permissions
in /opt directory? User should simply extract zipped application, run
setup skrypt and run app
Perhaps you're using some protection/privilege management system
(AppArmor, SELinux, something else) that restricts internet access to
the application running under root... but mysteriously doesn't restrict
it when it is running under your account???
Is your account member of some group that has "all network access
allowed" permissions, while root isn't?
Broadly agreed. Messing around with ownership of anything other than the
installed file (or installing extra libraries etc. that might clash with
what's already on the system) should be done only as a last resort, and
will probably need tailoring to the distro and version in question.
"Doesn't has access" /how/ exactly? What are you trying to do: connect
to a remote HTTP port? Create a local HTTP port? Ping a remote address?
Fabricate a non-standard packet to see how a remote port responds?
What files were changed by the chown -R operation? In other words,
compare before and after.
