Hi folks--
Is there a recommended "best practice" for specifying the umask for
daemons when running _stable_?
Or how is the umask established for a system user with no login shell?
For example. Even though the default umask is 022, I wish to run
motion(1) as a daemon with umask 002 so it'll create dirs and files
with group write privileges.
The daemon is currently started via /etc/init.d/motion with a command
like:
start-stop-daemon --chuid motion --start --make-pidfile --pidfile /
var/run/motion.pid --background --exec /usr/bin/motion
and all files are created with the default umask (022). Operational
constraints are that it must work for an ext2/ext3 mounted
'''noacl'', and must run on a _stable_ distribution--i.e. (dpkg
version 1.10.28).
Neither
- (umask 002 ; start-stop-daemon ...)
- start-stop-daemon .... --exec (umask 002; /usr/bin/motion)
will work. Is there any option other than hacking a ''umask'' option
into the daemon?
