Hi, This is the first time I've posted to -hackers and I apologise in advance since it's not strictly what I expect goes on here (and have read on Google Groups). However, the question I want to ask is best answered here, I think.
I've been playing with mount_unionfs but get stuck when it comes to permissions. I'm using it in the context of a ``base'' jail. The mount_unionfs man page states: Filenames are looked up in the upper layer and then in the lower layer. If a directory is found in the lower layer, and there is no entry in the upper layer, then a shadow directory will be created in the upper layer. It will be owned by the user who originally did the union mount, with mode ``rwxrwxrwx'' (0777) modified by the umask in effect at that time. What I want to know is why? Could there not be an option to inherit the permissions of the file/directory? Thanks very much, -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jab:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:http://lewiz.net |-
