Re: INTO OUTFILE "filename" creates world writeable files

Dear Sinisa

thanks for the reply.

Quite so. On Solaris you do not need to say:

newgrp foo

to write files that require you to be in group foo, providing you have
restarted your shell since you were added to foo.

The mysqld daemon has been restarted several times since we started
this (the database is shut down briefly and files backed up each
night), so I don't think this is the problem.

It writes as mysql:mysql, as expected. You're not suggesting I change
the primary group of mysql?

OK, that is understood. The server is called, and it wants to buffer
via a socket with wide open permissions? Is this a platform-specific
bind issue?

This is platform dependent and Sun should fix it, as this is not SysV compatible.
