Partly, they become something like read-ahead caches due to the fact that the CPU can only read hole cache lines. See http://lwn.net/Articles/252125/ for a good and recent documentation.

[gentoo-user] Can't login with a normal user
Hey, for a few days now I'm unable to log in to my PC[0] with a normal user (root works just fine). The following error is printed: /bin/zsh: Permission denied The same happens when I try it with a user that has /bin/bash as the default shell. The permissions for both files are: -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root Furthermore, it occurs regardless if I try to log in directly at the terminal or per SSH. I've no clue how to get rid of this problem or even how it manifested itself in the first place. So any help would be very appreciated!

(See also path_resolution(2).) (So, make sure /bin and / are executable by uid 1000.) Both /bin and / have 'drwxr-xr-x' permissions and /bin/zsh has the same, of course without 'd'. 2) The file or a script interpreter is not a regular file.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr] # file /bin/zsh /bin/zsh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped So, it is a normal executable file. 3) Execute permission is denied for the file or a script or ELF interpreter. (So, make sure that /bin/zsh and /lib/ld-linux.so* are executable. If /bin/zsh is a script make sure the interpreter listed after #! is executable. Proceed recursively if THAT is a script.) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is a symlink to /lib64/ld-2.5.so which can be executed, /bin/zsh is /linked/ to the symlink and their permission are IMHO correct: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137226 2007-06-17 16:20 /lib64/ld-2.5.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-06-17 16:21 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 - ld-2.5.so* (Also, is it possible that you don't have the right /lib/ld-linux.so? See the above link for some detail [the paragraph just above RETURN VALUE]. ldd should be able to show you which one you need.) Well, I think it's the right one. See above. 4) The file system is mounted noexec. (So, make sure that you filesystem is currently mounted exec.) As stated earlier, there is no noexec flag: /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime) If all of those check out, I think you'll have to use the source, luke.

Therefor the flags are at least still needed and can't be entirely removed from portage. Furthermore, depending on your profile the explicit flags can be removed, because they belong to the default USE flags in the 2006.1 profile. (This is of course only true as long as you're not excluding everything with -* and therefor terminate the default set) In 2006.0 only nptl is among the default flags.
