I am in Mandrivel 2006. When I issue the command
00base2.0 from the cli, the response is:
(process:5188): WARNING **: Wrong permissions
for /home/lee/tmp/orbit-lee
Permissions are read-only for Group and Others, as it
should be.
I don't know whether to lose patience with myself,
Mandrivel, or oo.
Any suggestions?
On Fedora Core the relevant directories are in /tmp and so have
different (tighter) permissions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# ls -ld /tmp /tmp/orbit-ross
drwxrwxrwt 21 root root 69632 May 26 10:56 /tmp
drwx------ 2 ross ross 4096 May 26 10:57 /tmp/orbit-ross
/tmp/orbit-ross is a directory that appears to be used by Gnome to
manage sockets. Starting Base adds at least one and possibly two entries
here that look like:
srwxrwxr-x 1 ross ross 0 May 26 10:55 linc-2bf1-0-1d5ca96aeddae
I wonder if Base is checking, or causing to be checked, that permissions
are secure enough on /home/lee/tmp/orbit-lee? This would be a reasonable
thing to do on Fedora Core, and possibly on Mandriva also, even though
the tmp directory in this case is under the user's home directory. If
this is the case then maybe Base should not be taking on the role of
filesystem nanny.
Try removing the read-only from Group and Others from
/home/lee/tmp/orbit-lee. This directory will have been created by gnome
(?) presumably and so, if it was responsible for setting the read-only
permissions initially, may be a problem again in the future.
