Description Greg Nichols 2011-04-22 14:12:02 UTC
Description of problem:

v7 sets the directory /var/v7/store as writeable by everyone.   It should set this directory as owned by apache, and restrict writes to apache.

This directory is used by the server to support network testing; a v7 cgi writes to this directory during the network test, and serves files for verification.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

v7 1.3 R35

This bug does not need a Tech Note because of:

1. A Red Hatter reported it
2. It only happened in an intermediate version.
