Hi, I just browsed the source code and tried to reproduce the error. But for me everything seems to work as expected. Are you restarting the daemon process after you change the /etc/incron.allow ?
Can you try it again and observe the log output with tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep incrond If I add my user to the allowed file the log output shows this: Jan 24 22:24:41 nano incrond[16535]: loading user tables Jan 24 22:24:41 nano incrond[16535]: loading table for user XXXX Jan 24 22:24:41 nano incrond[16535]: ready to process filesystem events So the rules are loaded and executed. If I remove the name there (or just change it to www-data) the log output is: Jan 24 22:26:48 nano incrond[17901]: loading user tables Jan 24 22:26:48 nano incrond[17901]: table for invalid user XXXX found (ignored) Jan 24 22:26:48 nano incrond[17901]: ready to process filesystem events So the rules file for that user is ignored. As expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394097 Title: IN_MODIFY does not trigger on file modification in some accounts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/incron/+bug/1394097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
