May be because this directory is meant to be used by portage only. IMHO that is so because of FEATURES="... userpriv ..." (please check the syntax). Same must be valid for /usr/portage/distfiles (FAETURES= " ... parallel-fetch userpriv usersandbox...") Why you need user access to this work-dir. HTH. Rumen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
