So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that if I want to use libcgroup package and its tools I have to setup permissions manually? If that is the case then I would consider the commit which changes the permissions setting as regression. SLE11-SP1 uses libcgroup 0.34 where I can use cgexec without any issues, OpenSUSE 11.3 has 0.36 is safe as well. Debian (current testing) has 0.37.1 (which contains fa3d180b) doesn't work that way anymore. Please note that the solution proposed here is just a workaround. I do not like it as well. If you guys say that the the stable release can introduce configuration enhancements then I am fine with the perm setting in configuration as well. I am almost ready with it. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX s.r.o.
