I've recently emerge'd mlDonkey, and very pleased with it I am, too. I have shared the /home/p2p/.mldonkey/incoming folder by Samba, so I can collect completed files over the LAN, but this has raised a couple of questions:
- How do I change the umask that mlDonkey writes files with..? I want files world (or at least group) writable, so I can delete them over SMB from my workstation when I've moved them somewhere else.
- Looking to fix this, I noticed that files in this directory were owned by the user p2p, so took a look in /etc/passwd for this user. Looking at some of the entries:
apache:x:81:81:apache:/home/httpd:/bin/false
portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false
guest:x:405:100:guest:/dev/null:/dev/null
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/bin/false
stroller:x:1000:100:Joe Stroller,,,,[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/stroller:/bin/bash
proftpd:x:1001:408::/home/ftp:/bin/false
p2p:x:1002:100::/home/p2p:/bin/bash
sshd:x:22:22:sshd:/var/empty:/dev/null
- Should proftpd & p2p really be high user numbers..? Shouldn't they be low, below 500 like apache & portage..?
- Shouldn't p2p's login shell be set to /bin/false..? (I thought /bin/true was more correct, but every other daemon uses /bin/false, so I'm happy with that).
- Is this a bug, should I file it..?
