Re: [SourceJammer-users] FYI: archive & filesys dirs

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Kevin.

Glad you like SJ so far. 

And yes, you are correct about the permissions issue. This is just an essential feature of any
server based program. Your typical CGI/perl programs are the same way--except that the user that
started the web server is the one whose permissions are used. This is true no matter where the
write directories are located. 

A good idea is to make a tomcat or sourcejammer user and give just that user permissions to write
to SJ's archive and filesys dirs. That will keep things pretty tidy.
