[ZendTo] Library of Files

[Jules]

And also, make sure that the dirs and files in /var/zendto/library are 
all read-write by Apache and NOT globally writable.
You make each directory the username who owns those files, and then put 
the files in their dir.
If you're using SAML authentication, then the dir name needs to be the 
user's email address (i.e. whatever they log in with).

If you are running on CentOS/RedHat and might be using SELinux, then 
you'll probably need to tell SELinux the files in there are okay too:
     restorecon -FRv /var/zendto/library
Giving the files 777 *may* stop it working, as they are then globally 
writable (which a lot of things don't like!).
Create the username dirs and files as shown like this:
     chmod -R ug=rwX,o=rX /var/zendto/library
     chown -R apache:apache /var/zendto/library
If you are on Ubuntu/Debian, use "www-data" instead of "apache" in the 2 
lines above.

If you upload to there via webdav (as intended), then SELinux won't get 
in the way, as the web server creates the files in the first place, and 
all the permissions will be correct.

You will need to use htpasswd to write and update the contents of the 
/var/zendto/library.passwd file.
But that's all standard Apache / WebDAV stuff, not specific to ZendTo at 
all.

Hope that helps,
Jules.
