Well, this *could* be one solution, but this *is* not a desirable solution for me. As I've said, there is absolutley no sense to restrict the access on /var/log/emerge.log in that hard way. It must be possible to build an application which can read the emerge.log without to be root or in the portage group. Or on the other hand, qpkg should not be allowed then, to show the installed packages without to be in the portage group. And /var/db/pkg should also be restricted then, only to root:portage. > | > Oh, and even if it would be ok it would still be broken as $ROOT > | > is missing. > | > | yeah, you're right, I've forgotten this, because it also works > | without $ROOT. > I think you didn't understand that remark. Why are you thinking this?
