Help, how can I setup each user's cgi-bin directory's umask to rwx--x--x?

[nkl]

Hello

I install proftpd rc2 in redhat7.0.

I setup the proftpd・s umask 022 for each user.

It is because my system support cgi-bin for each user, how can I
setup each user・s cgi-bin directory・s umask to rwx--x--x?

For example

<User a's home directory> ---> I use umask 022 => it produce rw-r--r--

|

-----<subdirectory cgi-bin> --> I use umask ??? => in order to
produce rwx--x--x

Thanks you for your help.

I'm not sure if I'm totally understanding the question, but you can try
this:

su
cd /home
for i in `ls`
do
cd $i/public_html
chmod 711 cgi-bin
cd ..
done

I can think of at least a handful of other ways to do it....

Me too, of course. Some decidedly preferable ones:

sudo bash
cd /home
for i in *
do
(cd $i/public_html; chmod 711 cgi-bin)
done

(I've found the subshell approach to be more reliable than "cd .."
afterwards.)

Or just:

cd /home
sudo chmod 711 */public_html/cgi-bin
