< Yaws mailing list ~ Best way of changing file umask of yaws server daemon? |

I would like to have the yaws server write any new files with a umask of
002, so that another user in the yaws group can modify, move, or delete
files created by the yaws server. I am running yaws 1.84 on Ubuntu
10.04.
I did not find any configuration option for the yaws.conf.
I tried adding to the config file /etc/default/yaws
umask 002
but did not work.
I also tried changing the init script, /etc/init.d/yaws:
script="$DAEMON -I $YAWS_ID $@"
to
script="umask 002; $DAEMON -I $YAWS_ID $@"
This did work, but I'm not sure editing the init script is the best way
of making this easy to document and configure on multiple machines.
I also found a reference to the pam_umask module here
(http://muzso.hu/2008/01/22/default-permissions-with-libpam-umask)
and edited /etc/pam.d/common-session, adding the line:
session optional pam_umask.so umask=022
Then running the command:
sudo chfn -o "umask=002" yaws
to add a umask setting to /etc/passwd.
This also worked, but only for non-interactive, non-login shells such as
the yaws server daemon. For login shells you need to also remove umask
setting from /etc/profile, otherwise it overrides settings made by the
pam_umask module.
Which is the better way to set the umask for the yaws server? Or is
there another way?
I have also asked this question on serverfault.com:
http://serverfault.com/questions/166176/ways-to-set-umask-on-ubuntu-for-daemon-processes
Thanks for any other suggestions,
Michael

That is indeed exactly the right way to go about it.
