<div>Hello Mike,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>please check also the permissions on file system level at the top directory with "ls -ldh ../data". The directory needs an execution permission bit. You might wonder: why won’t the write permission work without an execute permission on the directory? This is because of the fact that you can only retrieve the permissions of a directory when its execute bit is set. If it is not set, the OS won’t know whether it actually has the write permission.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>About the filter settings, they are saved in /spider/filter/spots for each user as a file "username.pl" so in my case in that directory I see files like DD5XX.pl, KE4KY-1.pl, and so on ... you could also check those files and the directory permission /spider/filter</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The permissions on my file system looks like that:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ls -ldh /spider/filter/spots</div>
<div>drwx------ 2 foo users 4.0K Jan 9 14:47 /spider/spots/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ls -ldh /spider/data</div>
<div>drwx------ 7 foo users 4.0K Jan 23 01:01 /spider/data/</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>But maybe it's something quite different and some other users will reply to your question, too. Hope you get this issue fixed soon. Good luck and all the best.</div>

<div>Saki, DD5XX</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;">Since sometime last fall, users making connection to my cluster (WA9PIE-2) have been unable to save settings. So every time the user connects, they are greeted with:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;"><span style="display: block;color: rgb(255,255,255);font-family: "courier new" , monospace;font-size: 13.0px;white-space: pre;background-color: rgb(34,34,34);">Please enter your name, set/name <your name></span><span style="display: block;color: rgb(255,255,255);font-family: "courier new" , monospace;font-size: 13.0px;white-space: pre;background-color: rgb(34,34,34);">Please enter your QTH, set/qth <your qth></span><span style="display: block;color: rgb(255,255,255);font-family: "courier new" , monospace;font-size: 13.0px;white-space: pre;background-color: rgb(34,34,34);">Please enter your location with set/location or set/qra</span><span style="display: block;color: rgb(255,255,255);font-family: "courier new" , monospace;font-size: 13.0px;white-space: pre;background-color: rgb(34,34,34);">Please enter your Home Node, set/homenode <your home DX Cluster></span><span style="display: block;color: rgb(255,255,255);font-family: "courier new" , monospace;font-size: 13.0px;white-space: pre;background-color: rgb(34,34,34);">WA9PIE de WA9PIE-2 29-Jan-2019 0739Z dxspider ></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;">In addition, users can't save filters (which, for the 800 - 1000 users that connect here, this is a significant problem).</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;">I've tried some things and haven't been successful. The permissions are correct.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial , helvetica , sans-serif;">
<div><img alt="image.png" height="115" src="cid:ii_jrhgb77w0" width="460"/></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone seen this happen before? Does anyone know of a way to fix it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At this point, the users.v3 file is complete rubbish and unimportant (since it's not retaining anything anyway).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.</div>
