[Koha] Daemon

[Roger Horne]

I am an inexperienced linux user and sometimes get floored by permissions.

Last week my system got corrupted and on the advice of my supplier I
reinstalled (Suse 9) Linux having first backed up all data onto CD.

I reinstalled Koha by using the instaler but with the version of the tables
saved using mysqldump substituted for the original. I then substituted the
version of the main Koha files saved on disc for those in /ust/local.
Everything works fine save for one thing. The files saved to CD had, I
think, different permissions to those given to them by the installer.

This applies in particular to the z* daemon. I have changed the permissions
of those files to wwwrun and www (user and group used by Apache2). The
daemon is running and when I log into Koha from the admin a/c (which is set
not to requre a pw) from the machine on which Koha runs but from my main
user a/c I can get biblios completed via the remote servers. That a/c is a
member of the www group. 

When however I run Koha admin from a remote machine the daemon does not
work, ie I constantly get ??? pages.

Is this a permision problem and if so what should I run the daemon as?
Should all the z* files and the directory they are in have the same
permissions?
