[vox-tech] not sure what to call it

[Patrick Stockton]

If it's actually changed the permissions on files how would a reboot be
fixing it unless restarting the daemon is resetting the permissions on the
file and directory.

I've just double checked the security setting and it is set at standard.

Have you found a solution for this yet?
