I get this message when starting Zope 2.5.1b1 on Windows 98: 2002-03-18T19:32:15 INFO(0) z2 Your umask of 000 may be too permissive; for the security of your Zope data, it is recommended you use 077
That's rather silly on Windows 98. :-) A couple of questions: - Should that really be 077? That means that the owner can't read the files, but that "other" can! How can that be less permissive? 770 would make sense to me. I usually run z2.py with -u zope, and have zope own the files, and letting nobody else do scrap with them, 700, in other words. WHy would 077 be better? - Is it silly to check for Windows? What happens on Windows NT, does that emulate umask somehow, or do you get 000 there too? _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
