Hallo, >> For some reason my /tmp directory keeps resetting to 0755
a typical reason for this problem is unpacking an archive file in /tmp which contains the "." current directory. tar will happily reset the permissions and destroy the 1777 setting. For exactly this reason I try to avoid creating archives with commands like "tar cf file.tar ." and always enumerate specific filenames and directory names. Hunting this down might be fun. A q&d solution would be to add a S99 startup file which resets directory permissions ;) Tschau...Thomas -- Do you wanna be a legend or a passing footprint on the sands of time? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
