Subject: Safe Mode Errors
We use RedHat 6.2, MySQL, PHP 3.x and have 5 developers. Each logs in under
their own name. They are part of the same group (website).

All of the websites are stored under the /www/sitename directory. All pages
are owned by Webdude and group .website

If a developer modifies an existing page, there is not a problem.

However, if they create a new page it sets the ownership to them and then
(seemingly randomly) when trying to access the page we get a safe mode
violation.

Note: most access the pages via Homesite connected thru a SMB connection.
e.g. the linux box has an SMB point called www, the developers connect (via
windows 2000/NT) and map the drive. All changes are using Homesite.

To fix the problem, we have to set the owner, group, and permissions. Then
it is fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
