Changing Ownership of Symbolic Links
(There is no PURGE security for OSS files.) If the user is the owner of the source file
or directory but did not have WRITE access to the source file set, WRITE access on
the destination OSS files is set as follows:
If the user is not SUPER.SUPER (255,255), WRITE access is granted for the
destination file. AutoSYNC applies the equivalent of Guardian purge security rules
to OSS WRITE security.
If the user is SUPER.SUPER (255,255), WRITE security is not upgraded and
remains the same as the source file security setting because the SUPER.SUPER
user always has the required WRITE access.
You may use the SECURE option to override the default security setting.
The SECURE option for OSS files specifies read, write and execute access, for the
user (owner of the file or directory), the group and others: “rwxrwxrwx”. The complete
security string must be entered. The accepted values are:
“r” grants read access
“w” grants write access
“x” grants execute access
“-” denies access for read, write, and execute settings.
Ownership of synchronized symbolic links is a special case. By default, the owner of a
synchronized symbolic link is always the syncuser and not the owner of the source
symbolic link or the OWNER specified in the
Likewise, the group ID of synchronized symbolic links is, by default, the group ID of the
user and not the group ID of the source symbolic link or the group ID specified in the
command OWNERGROUP option.
You can change this behavior as described below.
Changing Ownership of Symbolic Links
To set the owner of a synchronized symbolic link to a user different than the user
performing the synchronization, or to set the owner to the user ID specified through the
OWNER or OWNERGROUP option, the following requirements apply:
the user must be SUPER.SUPER (255,255)
the destination ASYSYNC (or ASYSYNCP is synchronizing over TCP/IP) must be
licensed to allow AutoSYNC to perform this operation, as described in
on page 2-11. This will allow AutoSYNC to log on to
the user ID who owns the symbolic on the source or to the user ID specified with
the OWNER option, and create the link on the destination.
