Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] which files does slimuser need write access to?

2009-11-02 Thread tap1936

Can you give me some idea of how you installed it on slackware? I want
to do the same, any pointers would be helpful. Did you use the source or
one of the rpm or deb packages?
Thanks
TP

ah, closer inspection of the rpm shows it's just those .conf files (in
addition to logs, prefs & cache).

[SlimDevices: Unix] which files does slimuser need write access to?

2009-10-27 Thread slackgraham

Hi,

I need advice on fine tuning some directory permissions of a 7.4.1
installation (on slackware):

The server runs as user "slimuser".
I've extracted from the tarball, and as per the usual practice of
separating the application code from runtime files I've:

* relocated obviously "runtime" data files, as defined by the server
flags --logdir, --prefsdir, --cachedir into various dirs under /var, and
changed their ownership to slimuser

* left the main tree (/opt/squeezeboxserver) owned by root, readonly
for slimuser (this directory contains the rest of the tarball, ie.
slimserver.pl, Bin, CPAN, MySQL, et al)

This is working fine but I'm wary that sooner or later the server,
running as slimuser, will expect to be able to write into
/opt/squeezeboxserver.
I notice for example that the redhat install relocates the various
.conf files into /etc/squeezeboxserver.

Can anyone advise on whether these .conf files and/or any others need
to be writeable by slimuser?
