#7 permission on file in var dir...

[Anonymous]

Any time when the '*.dat' and '*.dir' file in the var
dir need to be updated, I and up with files with the
permission 644. BoBoMail refuses to process them. I
alter them to 600 and have a happy BoBoMail again, till
the next time.
I haven't been able (yet) to figure out where this
happens... Can you help me out??

I think the default permission for newly created files
is set to 622 on your system. This is done via the
umask 022 in the /etc/profile I assume.

What you could try is alter this to umask 077,
then restart your webserver, and try again....

However, I believe this should be fixed in the BoboMail
program itself and not trust the system wide umask here.

But, at least you have a workaround.
Next step is creating a fix!
