I recently submitted the TorrentZip port and one thing it does when scanning a directory of Zip files, is it changes the Zip files permissions to 400 during the scan, and changes them back to 600 when TorrentZip is done. The reason the program is doing this is so that it doesn't attempt to rescan a previously scaned zip file. They are working on fixing this problem, but need to know what would be the best option. 1. Add the suid bit to the zip files permissions before scanning, and then remove when done scanning. 2. change the user execute bit on zip files permissions before scanning, and then remove when done scanning. NOTE: both options would keep the original file permissions when the scan has completed.
