[mythtv-users] Permissions problem

[A Desai]

When I run ls -ald /usr/local/media/tv/*, this is what I get:

-rw-------  1 root root     83882592 Jul 23 17:25
/usr/local/media/tv/2192_20060723172400.mpg


The other surprising thing I just noticed is that my old recordings, which I
make it chmod -R 755, if I try to go and watch them, I can do so. However,
once I start watching it, their permissions now change to permission of 666!

Another thing is due to this permission screw up, I can't watch Live TV, but
then it is apparent why...

Thanks,
