Re: Changing a file's UID from within an Apache module?
Prior to creating any file, the user would have been authenticated and an authorize module would have supplied the UID to be used for the request in an environment variable. The location of the user's files has to read by Apache so such that it can serve the files (HTML). The rational behind setting the UID of the files (and directories) is to allow each user to be able to create files that are protected from other users who may also be providing files. Each users files are confined to certain sub-directory stubs. Perhaps, I should use the GID instead of the PID to differentiate between users and leave the PID alone. Then perhaps setting the directory permission to 0770 and 0460 for files on creation, along with checking the GID of the files and dirs before any modifcation, could be used to achieve the same effect. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd put it someplace that is only accessible to the web user if you're going to do that. - Original Message - From: "Jorge Godoy" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "George Sanderson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 01, 2000 5:22 AM Subject: Re: Changing a file's UID from within an Apache module?

Changing a file's UID from within an Apache module?
I am creating a mod_perl Apache module. The last functionality that I need to implement is the ability to set the UID of the files and directories which are created and modified by the Apache module to something other than Apache's child UID. For example, if when I built Apache 1.3.14 on Linux 2.2.17, I used: APACI_ARGS=--server-uid=300,--server-gid=300 Later, my module creates a file "myfile.html". I want to change the file's UID from 300 to 3000, from within the Apache module. I was going to set the file permissions to 750 and keep the Apache GID. The directory permissions could be set to 770 in order to let the Apache module create, modify, and delete files within the directories. In this way each file would provide exclusive (modify and create) access rights in a shared user environment. Any ideas about the best way to change the permissions and UID? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
