Also, variables like this are not only set in make.conf but in profiles and even on the command line. Read man portage for more detail. The correct way to see what settings are in place is to run emerge --info emerge --info | grep CONFIG_PROTECT > And this, in my view, contradicts with the following statement from > emerge man pages: "Protected directories are set using the > CONFIG_PROTECT variable", as in my case /etc have not been set in > my CONFIG_PROTECT variable.
