Something has changed in my RT enironment that is causing umask or
permissions problems w/ Mason.
E.g.
Trying to request /rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=1083:
Results in:
error: Couldn’t create object file
/opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/standard/Ticket/Display.html: Permission
denied
context:
…
313: {
314: if ($tries++ == 3) {
315: $self->_compilation_error( $source->friendly_name, “Could not
load or recreate object file after 3 tries” );
316: }
317: if ($objfilemod < $srcmod) {
318: $self->compiler->compile_to_file( file => $objfile, source =>
$source);
319: }
320: $comp = eval { $self->eval_object_code( object_file => $objfile
) };
321:

Here are the permissions that get set on the autocreated directories:
root@ws1:standard# pwd ; ls -l
/opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/standard
total 36
-rw-r–r-- 1 apache apache 8973 Apr 18 09:03 autohandler
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 18 09:03 Elements

-rw-r–r-- 1 apache apache 2402 Apr 18 09:03 l
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 18 09:03 NoAuth
d--------- 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 18 09:38 Ticket
If I fix the perms (755) then things proceed, but as soon as Mason has
to compile and create a new file the problem recurs.
Suggestions? This was working fine not that long ago, but something
has obviously changed. The problem seems to be recurrent, as I’ll fix
it for a while, then I come back and have to fix it again.

I haven’t seen a response to this (anyone? :-), but I have another
intermittent symptom of this problem.
I noticed this in my mail queue after responding to a message:
j3KKLmvc026806 309 Wed Apr 20 16:21 <>
(Deferred: prog mailer (/usr/sbin/smrsh) exited with
EX_TEMPF)
"|rt-mailgate --queue
rfpo-support --a
I ran the rt-mailgate program to see what happened:
/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue rfpo-support --action correspond --debug
–url https://foo.com/rt/
hello
quit

read-open /tmp/UwEGePdc9v/part-26199-4.txt: Permission denied at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/MIME/Body.pm line 417.
Taking a look at the temp directory, I see this:
root@ws1:mqueue# ls -l /tmp/UwEGePdc9v
total 4
---------- 1 apache apache 5 Apr 20 16:50 part-26199-4.txt
Again, these temp directories get created with wacky modes (0000 in
this case).
I also see this in the rt.log file:
[Wed Apr 20 20:50:07 2005] [warning]: Can't remove directory
/tmp/UwEGePdc9v: Directory not empty at /opt/rt3/lib/RT/EmailParser.pm
line 627 (/opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm:277)
Looking at the temp directories that don't get removed, I see these
perms:
root@ws1:/tmp# find HGSb5lNWOx DXcYnVLUcm lJIs5RNJju 0ouhmQs94U
UwEGePdc9v -ls

So what the heck is causing these totally inappropriate directory
modes? Whatever is causing this is also presumably causing my
mason_files directory to get screwed up.

Again, these temp directories get created with wacky modes (0000 in
this case).
What default permissions are set for processes on your system? Do you have
some other kind of security feature that might be interfering (ACLs and so
on)?

I’m running a fairly stock RHEL3. What should I be looking at?

We are running Debian Sarge. I have seen multiple posts to this list about
turning off SELINUX on RedHat, but I’m not the person to ask about that.
