We (LANL) would like to be able to provide (limited) use of NHC to non-root users, but the permissions settings in the RPM specfile are too restrictive (intentionally) to facilitate this. Specifically, the following changes need to be made:

  • Mode 0711 for directory /etc/nhc
  • Mode 0755 for directory /etc/nhc/scripts
  • Mode 0644 for files /etc/nhc/scripts/*.nhc
  • Mode 0755 for directory /usr/libexec/nhc
  • Mode 0755 for files /usr/libexec/nhc/*

If other necessary changes are revealed, they will be added here.

If possible, it might be nice if this were a build-time conditional

lbnl-nhc.spec.in: Allow for normal user access
071a0e5 
At LANL, we have use cases that will require `nhc` and its script
files to be readable by normal system users.  Previously, several
directories owned by the `lbnl-nhc` RPM package had permissions of
`0700` for security/privacy reasons; however, nothing in the RPM
itself is privacy- or security-sensitive, so there's no reason to
limit functionality unnecessarily.

It's still possible to obtain the prior behavior by building without
`useraccess` (i.e., `rpmbuild --without useraccess ...`), but the
default is now to use the less restrictive permissions.

Closes #122.
