Hi all,
in the past we had an interesting problem. We use our spectrometers for
data
acquisition only and process the data at diffent stations. The data
itself become
copied using the rcp -r command.
Processing of spectra is no problem. But some users were not able to
produce
correct plots of their spectra. They produced something like the frame
of
the desired plotout (scales, title, peak picking) but the spectrum
itself
was missing. The plot preview always showed the correct spectrum.
The solution of this strange behaviour had nothing to do with XWIN-NMR
in a direct way. That users, which couldn't produce correct plots had
the line
umask 027
in their .cshrc all others had
umask 022
Of course umask 027 is somewhat more secure. But using this option you
produce a lot of possible trouble (not only that plotting problem). For
instance the simple command
lp <file>
wouldn't work.
Hope this helps others to avoid this pitfall and maybe the Bruker
software
engineers should fix this behaviour, if possible (i believe, there must
be a program
with the suid flag responsible for this behaviour).
