DutchDaemon,
Thanks for the reply. I did try 0777 and it worked. My thought was that it would open it to the world. I had tunnel vision thinking what "tar" restored was the correct permissions. One of those quaint and bizarre functions of the system I guess. Something for future reference in the notes. I also see that you put the sticky bit on and that makes sense. Everything now works the way it should. Thanks! |

Please use 1777, not 777. That way only users that put a file in /tmp can delete it. Else everyone can delete any file in /tmp. See chmod(2) and sticky(8).
