file permissions on files created with lotofile
Posted in 2003

when using lotofile the files created (on linux) get permissions 600 owned by informix:informix. this prohibits scenarios where for example a web server will be able to read these files by being in the same group as the directory, with group sticky bit on, where these files get created. normally the sitcky bit would make sure the file created in that directory would be accessible by members of the same group. the functions neither follows permissions as set by umask during server startup. 1. can these permissions be controlled through informix? 2. any suggestions for above mentioned scenario? any help appreciated regards hoyte swager linux 2.4 ids 9.4
