Thanks Bill!  We don't often get complaints accompanied by solutions!
Most folks stop at the complaint.  Thank you very much for helping to
advance Hobbit!

	I attempted to use FILE uid and gid checking in
hobbit-clients.cfg.  I ran into the same problem listed below on an
e-mail dating back to 2007.  There was not a thread that showed a
correction to the problem so I search your source code for the problem.
I found it in the module client_config.c.  In your original 4.2.0 code,
the +8 below were +6. From what I can gleam from module client_config.c,
the you had planned to use "owner" and "group" until you realized that
group was reserved, so you switched to "ownerid" and "groupid".  The
only problem was that you did not change the parsing position for the
input data.

	                                               uid =
strtol(tok+8, &eptr, 10);

	                                                if (*eptr ==
'\0') {

	                                                        /* All
numeric */

	
currule->flags |= FCHK_OWNERID;

	
currule->rule.fcheck.ownerid = uid;

	                                                }

	                                                else {

	
currule->flags |= FCHK_OWNERSTR;

	
currule->rule.fcheck.ownerstr = strdup(tok+8);

	                                                }

	                                        }

	                                        else if
(strncasecmp(tok, "groupid=", 8) == 0) {

	                                                /* Cannot use
"group" because that is reserved */

	                                                char *eptr;

	                                                int uid;

	 

	                                                uid =
strtol(tok+8, &eptr, 10);

	                                                if (*eptr ==
'\0') {

	                                                        /* All

currule->flags |= FCHK_GROUPID;

	
currule->rule.fcheck.groupid = uid;

	                                                }

	                                                else {

currule->rule.fcheck.groupstr = strdup(tok+8);

	                                                }

	Hi,

	 

	I get the following status message:

	 

	/tmp
	File is owned by user root  - should be d=root
	File is owned by group root  - should be d=root

	 

	The config files contain:

	 

	hobbit-clients.cfg
	FILE /tmp yellow type=dir ownerid=root groupid=root mode=1777

	 

	client-local.cfg
	file:/tmp

	
	Removing ownerid and groupid will give back a green status -
what is going wrong?

	Thanks,

	
	Joost
