[Swift-user] Re: installing swift

[Marco Mambelli]

Hi Ben,
the user owning the installation ran succesfully:
Swift 0.8 (stripped) swift-r2448 cog-r2261

RunID: 20090403-1305-k22hrieg
Progress:
Final status:  Finished successfully:1

Another user had permission problems:
swift.log exists, it was created by the first user but it is writable 
also by this one (I tryed to append something to it).
Which permission is looking for? does it need to be the owner? Group write 
is not sufficient?
Should every user have its own swift installation?

Below the java trace.
Thanks,
Marco
