/usr/lib/node_modules/<package> not readable with strict default umask #212

Closed dev-zero closed 8 years ago

dev-zero commented 8 years ago

We have the default umask set to 0027. After installing a NPM package via the NPM provider (that is, globally), I had to do a chmod -R a+rX on /usr/lib/node_modules first for the module to be accessible by anyone other than root.

@dev-zero I um am not sure what the bug is. Doesn't the 7 in your mask prevent other users from having rwx on this folder? (npm creates that folder if it doesn't exist)

sure, its our default umask in the end which causes the permissions on the npm-created folders to be too strict. But shouldn't Puppet (recipes) yield the same result on all distros nevertheless (e.g. a working npm package installation)? But since Puppet doesn't allow to the define a umask when defining a command in a provider, I guess there isn't much you can do here anyway...
