Hi, I encountered an unexpected behaviour during a svnadmin create as a normal user.
We have a setup where a normal user can create repositories below an SvnParentPath structure. The directories are setgroupid www, with ACLs allowing the user write permissions. When I create these directories as root, the permissions are passed down properly, everything works, except for that misbehaviour with sqlite and rep-cache.db. When I create a repository as a normal user (with the proper permissions), the sticky bit doesn't get passed down to the db directory, so all files and directories in there end up owned by the user's primary group, with all traces of www removed, thus not readable. I created a test case: cd /tmp mkdir test chgrp www test chmod 2770 test setfacl -m u:username:rwx test setfacl -m d:u:username:rwx test cd test svnadmin create test1 su - username -c "cd /tmp/test; svnadmin create test2" Result: ls -l total 16 drwxrws---+ 6 root www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test1 drwxrws---+ 6 username www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test2 ls -ld test1/db test2/db drwxrws---+ 6 root www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test1/db drwxrwx---+ 6 username www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test2/db ls -l test1/db/rep-cache.db test2/db/rep-cache.db -rw-r-----+ 1 root www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test1/db/rep-cache.db -rw-r-----+ 1 username users 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test2/db/rep-cache.db ls -ld test1/db/revs test2/db/revs drwxrws---+ 3 root www 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test1/db/revs drwxrwx---+ 3 username users 4096 2010-03-30 14:07 test2/db/revs Am I doing something wrong or am I too stupid to see the obvious? Is this possibly a bug?
