Proper permissions for restricted deluge daemon
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2011 6:30 am
I have the Deluge Daemon running as a restricted system user called deluge.
Files are downloaded to a folder owned by mc:mc with permissions 777.
Downloaded files are owned by deluge:deluge with permissions 644 by default.
Everything is fine until a download needs to be 'checked'. My common sense says the files are readable by everyone, so checking should be no problem. However, checking stays at 0% until I chmod 777. Then the checking starts.
What is wrong here with my understanding of permissions?
Is there a way to have Deluge write those files as 777 by default, so other users may move/delete/edit the files?
