executor file permissions (Linux)
The default setup has all the Executor files installed with owner
root. I guess this means that a normal user who launches the program
can't install or save files on the default ExecutorVolume.
I've read the faq about setting up user specific folders in their home
directories. I guess I was just curious about the handling of shared
files since it'd be kind of a waste to have to have a separate copy of
every file for every user, or kind of a pain to have to make a bunch
of sym links every time a new Mac program was installed.
Although this approach is very flexible, it's also somewhat time
consuming. Especially since when you install a program you don't
necessarily know which files are read-only and can be installed in a
shared area (or as a link) and which have to be duplicated for each
user..
Is there a better way I'm overlooking? Perhaps having a shared folder
and making Executor setgid for a specal group for Executor users?
If you had two licenses so that two copies could be running at once, I
guess there could be race condition problems.
BTW What is the ConfigurationFolder, and what are the DirectoryMaps?
The FAQ mentions the variables, but doesn't say what they do?
Thanks, and hope this is coherent enough to understand.
