| NOTE: | The use of DBFILEPERMS on non-Unix-type operating systems may have limited functionality. See the chmod function under the Function Implementations of the perlport manpage of the Perl documentation for specifics on how Unix-type permissions are applied to your operating system. |
DBFILEPERMS sets the permissions of DBFILE. File permissions are specified as an octal number: the same format as used by the Unix chmod(1) command. The following provides common values:
| 0666 | User, group, and other readable and writable. |
| 0660 | User and group readable and writable; no access for anyone else. |
| 0644 | User readable and writable; group and other readable. |
| 0640 | User readable and writable; group readable; no access for anyone else. |
| 0600 | User readable and writable; anyone else is denied access. |
The UMASK resource is applied to the value of DBFILEPERMS as follows: DBFILEPERMS &~ UMASK. For example, if DBFILEPERMS equals 0660 and UMASK equals 022, archive files will have the permissions 0640, read/write for user and read-only for group, and no access for anyone else.
DBFILEPERMS exists to provide you with the ability to have a more restrictive access policy to DBFILE vs other archive files for security reasons.
0660
(User and group read/write; no access for anyone else)
| NOTE: | Remember, UMASK is applied to DBFILEPERMS, so the actual permissions of DBFILE may be less than 0660. |
