Synology vi modify file ACL unintentionally
When using vi editor in Synology SSH session, the ACL changed upon saving. This causes issue for permission sensitive application, such as SSH.
Cause
The vi command creates a new file, and write new contents into that file, and the new file doesn't follow the ACL of original file.
Update ACL using GUI
If SSH is not available, for example, the permission authorized_keys changed, and only public key access was opened. If the file was shared, GUI is allowed to change ACL in user's home directory.
The ACL page can be accessed using following steps.
- Login DSM webpage
- Right click on the file
- Select
Properties - Click on
PermissionTab
