[SOLVED] Stop unwanted permission change?

archaea · Yesterday 06:25:15

I'm using lemonade-server as a system service, and only start it manually. To simplify browsing lemonade's files manually, I have /var/lib/lemonade set to 0755 permissions (not seeing any significant security advantage to using 0750 permissions there on this specific system).

When I do sudo systemctl start lemond, /var/lib/lemonade changes permissions from 0755 to 0750.

What is changing the permissions to 0750 and how to configure it not to do that?

In case it's relevant, /var/lib/lemonade is the home directory of the "lemonade" user, and I have it set up as a bind-mount to elsewhere. I'd like any change to be specific to lemonade, e.g. I'd like to keep my main user's homedir permissions at 0750.

Alternatively, I could consider just adding my user to the "lemonade" group instead of trying to diagnose this, since the goal is just to give my user read access to /var/lib/lemonade. But not sure if that would have unwanted implications I don't know about? (Or would that actually be a better solution?)

Thanks for any insight.

/var/lib/lemonade is the home directory of the "lemonade"

How was it created ?

Please post the output of ls -l /var/lib without lemonade running.

Thanks seth, that was it. I have no idea why I was thinking that was the permissions for the lemonade user's ~/.local/state directory
