I'm seeing that all files under /boot get their file permissions change to 755 every couple of hours.  The only cron job I found was to rotate the syslog file hourly.

 

I need to have files with a different permission than 755 in /boot/config for rsync to work.  I just can't find out why they are gettig changed back.  Anyone know?

 

thanks,

David

This permissions changing thing is killing me.  Guess I'll have to create a cron job to continually change it back.  Rsync will not work if the secrets files is not set to non-other readable.  Everytime the system sets it back to other-readable rsync craps out and my backup dies.

 

 

Most frustrating. 

Yes this doesn't make sense at all - I'll try to recreate this problem.

Thanks for looking into this.

 

My current work around is to copy the file from /boot/config to /etc and chmod 400 it.  I do this in the go file.  It appears to work fine.
