I'd like to allow people to update a website either through their shell
account or WebDAV. My problem is permissions. I can make a group
"somewebsite" including users apache, bob, and charlie. Then I can make
all the directories setgid. When bob and charlie make new files or
directories, everything works out. When Apache does, there's a problem:
the group write permission is disabled. bob and charlie can't modify the
file.
I grepped through the source for umask and found this:
./modules/dav/fs/dbm.c: /* ### do we need to deal with the umask? */
./modules/dav/fs/dbm.c: /* ### do we need to deal with the umask? */
./modules/dav/fs/repos.c: /* ### do we need to deal with the
umask? */
./modules/dav/fs/repos.c: /* ### do we need to deal with the
umask? */
I think the answer is yes. In my situation, just setting the umask
globally would work. Are there situations where it'd need to be set on a
per-directory basis? I.e., is there need for a "DavUmask" directive that
can be set in <directory> containers?
