[condor-users] File transfer mechanism and file permissions

[Daniel Forrest <forrest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I notice the following when running Vanilla jobs...

Files transferred to the execute machine have permission 0600 (except
for the executable which has permission 0777).

Files created on the execute machine obey the current umask.

Files transferred back to the submit machine have permission 0600.

Questions...

Why is the executable given permission 0777?  Seems like it could be a
security risk.

Same goes for the $(LOCAL_DIR)/execute/dir_<PID> directories.  These
are also mode 0777.

Why are the file permissions ignored when files are transferred back
to the submit machine?  I am expecting the files to be readable by
others because that is how they were created.
