[psad-discuss] File permissions on host.deny

[Ala de Dragón]

Hello to all the community :)

I realiced that after blocking and ip on iptables and changing the
host.deny file, psad writes the file host.deny with 0600 file
permission.

some servers running needs to read this file, so they fail to run
because they can't.

1- Is this the usual behavior for psad and are my server miss configured?
2- Is any option which I can use for leaving the file permissions on 0644?

Maybe my question seems simple, but for a not expert user it isn't.

Greetings and have a nice day

:D

Hi Ala,

I believe this was fixed in psad-2.2.3:

Which version are you running?

Thanks,

Mike
