Description Alan Swanson 2004-09-19 06:18:10 UTC
The /var/spool/wwwoffle directory needs to be owned by user wwwoffle (or group wwwoffle should have write permissions). Otherwise wwwoffle cannot create, move or delete directories. This includes the ftp directory which is not built on install making using wwwoffle for ftp impossible.

The ebuild currently does "chown root:wwwoffle /var/spool/wwwoffle" on the directory (which has 0750 permissions).

For the lasttime, prevtime[1-8], lastout and prevout[1-8] what wwwoffle does is the same as doing;

$ rm prevtime8
$ mv prevtime7 prevtime8
...
$ mv lasttime prevtime1
$ mkdir lasttime
