Bug#292377: apache-perl: umask again
Package: apache-perl
Version: 1.3.33-2
Severity: normal
This is probably related to #167966 (archived)
In my experience apache-perl inherits its umask from process, invoking
/etc/init.d/apache-perl
Our web application creates session files. Our nightly maintenance
cronjobs use /etc/init.d/apache-perl to stop/start apache. Also, the
cronjobs sets umask 0227 (having in mind permissions of archived files).
In the morning, the session files created are with access rights
r--r-----, which effectifely disables any writing to them.
In #167966 I see a reference to /etc/init.d/rcS, which indeed sets umask
0022. However, /etc/init.d/apache-perl never sources /etc/init.d/rcS.
Maybe /etc/init.d/apache-perl should a) source /etc/init.d/rcS, or b)
set a saner umask itself, or c) document the issue in README.Debian.
Thank you for your attention.
