Hello,

The file DA calls is:
/usr/bin/unzip

I recall a user having issues with that a few weeks back (perhaps it's you) because /bin/sh was chmod to 700.

All sytem calls made by DA are called via /bin/sh, so it needs to be 755.

John, for those of us who understand security by username/groupname it would be possible to assign /bin/sh to a group as well as a user, and then make the username DirectAdmin uses when calling /bin/sh a member of that group.

Am I correct in my presumption that DirectAdmin runs as it's own user when calling /bin/sh?

Thanks in advance for clarification.

Hello,

DirectAdmin calls /bin/sh in all shapes and forms pending on what it's doing at that time.. that would make it difficult.

However, without making any changes to DA.. you could set the group to /bin/sh to say "users" .. and throw anyone you want to allow +x access into that users group, then chmod 750. Of course, be very careful in making such changes as you risk locking yourself out if not done correctly, or breaking the system if anything else needs it.
