[Opensync-users] msynctool --configure fails due to missing user permissions on /tmp/msynctooltmp

[Stefan S. <ste...@we...>]

Hi!

I've tried to report a bug by opening a new ticket but I failed to
submit it. Here is the bug:

        When using msynctool and configuring first as root and then as a
        normal user, the user can't configure a member,
        because /tmp/msynctooltmp from root is still there and the user
        have not the permissons to change it, because root has created
        the file.
        =20
        {{{
        Unable to write configdata to tmp: Unable to open
        file /tmp/msynctooltmp for writing: Permission denied
        }}}
       =20

Workaround:
        as root "chmod 666 /tmp/msynctooltmp"

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Stefan

forget the workaround! you have to delete the file by
"rm /tmp/msynctooltmp" as root!

uh. true of course. ill append the current username to it so they dont
trip over each other. i also automatically remove the file once we are done.

Thanks for pointing this out!
