/usr/bin/curl : jailed shell : permission denied

[sreeninair]

Hello Guys,

I am facing some issues while using curl from a jailed shell user. The permission of binary /usr/bin/curl is 750 . When I change it to 755 it works. Please let me know the recommended permission for this binary.

Thanks
Sreenivas

755 is fine - some hosting providers set it to 750 by default to prevent rogue scripts from downloading files, but it's pretty pointless.

Hello

The permissions on /usr/bin/curl are 0755 by default on a test CentOS 6.5 server I created.

Thank you.
