Hello all, I included a special user into the nginx group with the purpose of giving privilege to be able to delete or read nginx cache files. The problem is nginx writes these in 700 mode. What is the simplest way I can achieve what I want? Perhaps forcing nginx to write cache files in 770 ? Regards, Mike ---

Isn’t it simpler and potentially safer to use a setuid wrapper? I like super: [Manpage of SUPER](http://www.ucolick.org/~will/RUE/super/super.1.html) You can create a wrapper command that grants the right to delete the cache files to a specific user. — appa
