If you're going to leave public without permission to write in prod (as you
should IMHO)

You'll probably need to create an actual home directory for the job's user.

does /home exist on DEV but not prod?


/home exists on both


Are the permissions the same?


Ah, no, they aren't.

The permissions for prod /home are 'drwxrwsr-x'.
The permissions for dev /home are 'drwxrwsrwx'.

Just thinking out loud, given that the i defaults to /home if /homes/cwilt
for instance doesn't exist.


Interesting theory ... I'll talk to our infra folks.
