Hello Peter, first make sure that you don't have any "suspicious" rubygem based executables in your path that might confuse things. Some time ago I found some ancient such files in /usr/local/bin ... Next, with a default ruby/rubygems installation, a normal user should be able to install gems into their own $HOME/.gem directory. I'm doing this on several gentoo boxes, never had a problem with that approach. On one of the servers, I can run the following command, to which you can compare your environment $ gem environment RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 3.3.26 - RUBY VERSION: 3.1.4 (2023-03-30 patchlevel 223) [x86_64-linux] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/3.1.0 - USER INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/.../.gem/ruby/3.1.0 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby31 - GIT EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/git - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/bin - SPEC CACHE DIRECTORY: /home/.../.gem/specs - SYSTEM CONFIGURATION DIRECTORY: /etc - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86_64-linux - GEM PATHS: - /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/3.1.0 - /home/.../.gem/ruby/3.1.0 - /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/3.1.0 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :backtrace => true - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - "install" => "--install-dir /home/.../.gem/ruby/3.1.0 --bindir /home/.../bin" - "uninstall" => "--install-dir /home/.../.gem/ruby/3.1.0 --bindir /home/...bin" - "update" => "--install-dir /home/.../.gem/ruby/3.1.0 --bindir /home/.../bin" - REMOTE SOURCES: - https://rubygems.org/ - SHELL PATH: - /usr/local/sbin - /usr/local/bin - /usr/sbin - /usr/bin - /sbin - /bin - /opt/bin

In addition, I'm trying to run MailScanner and if I try to have it run as postfix, I get a message that it can't open it's MailScanner.conf, even though i've made that owned by postfix. Not sure if that's related, but it seems it could be. Root should be able to read anything yes. If this was my computer, I'd go into single user mode, set the partition read only and run fsck on it.

Also if you have ACL support enabled, you should check the ACLs for the file and make sure they grant root access to the file. Also, double check your kernel configuration for any security options you have. I use CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES, and I know that I have some bizarre permissions issues if I don't load capability.ko. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
