[Gnump3d-users] help on users and file permissions

Hi gnumpers,
I am sure I am being really silly but am realling struggling to set the right permissions and user on my NSLU2 (small linux computer) to operate gnump3d properly.
If I set user = root then all is ok
i have - .conf set to user = nobody - nobody is defined as uid=99(nobody) gid=501(everyone) - all the files are owned by chown -R bren:everyone - all the files are -rw-r--r-- - all the directories are drwxr-sr-x
Can anyone check this and advise - I am not used to setting up Linux users and groups What does the r-s for group mean for directories - it was set with this command as part of a short script - see end of this post
Is this the problem?
thanks bren
#! /bin/sh # Diversion script: to set file permissions for the root gnump3d music server directory # 1. Start by globaly setting all files and directories with owner and group set to root.
# Note that some users prefer to use different user and groups # to improve server security, such as nobody and everyone chown -R bren:everyone /home/bren/gnump3d # # 2. Then globaly chmod all files and directories to permission 644
chmod -R 0644 /home/bren/gnump3d # # 3. Then chmod all Directories to permission 2755 find /home/bren/gnump3d -type d -exec chmod 2755 {} \; -print # #
