Hi again everyone.
Found the following fix on google.
<snip>
If I turn on the x bit for the group of the /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
(/var/spool/netsaint in my case)
# chmod g+x /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
then everything works Ok (that is I can finally send
commands to nestanit from the cmd.cgi). This leads to a
full sequence like that:
# chown netsaint.nscmd /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
# chmod a= /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
# chmod u+rwx /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
# chmod g+rwxs /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw
</snip>
Now, I did not have the x permission for groups turned on, according to
netsaints docs, you don't.... user, yes, group, no. *shrugs*
The "chmod g+rwxs" also changed the capital "S" in the group permissions
to a lower case "s."
Was:
drwxrwS--- 2 netsaint nscmd 4096 May 30 11:04 rw
Now:
drwxrws--- 2 netsaint nscmd 4096 May 30 11:04 rw
So, can anyone explain the capital "S" vs. the lowercase "s."
TIA again,
Eric
