[gentoo-user] 2005.1 "el nino" simple user restricts

[Gyuri]

Hi guys,
I've just downloaded, and installed Gentoo 2005.1 El Nino. I have some 
experiences with former Gentoo releases. But there is a little "bug" 
(maybe?) in "el nino". A simple user cannot read the contets of the root 
( / ) partition, she/he can only read and write in his/her own home 
directory. Is it a bug? Or is it done for some security reasons?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad English.

Hi everybody. Is there any possibilities to re-emerge the whole system 
again? (not only updated packages, everything.)
Thanks in advance

what does output "ls -ld /" ?
mine is

drwxr-xr-x  20 root root 496 Aug 15 01:01 /

maybe there is something wrong with mount options in etc/fstab ?

About reemerge the whole system you can use "emerge -ea world", seldom
this doesn't go good so the procedure I follow is something like this:

create a bash script like this (it can be done better, but it's fast to
write it this way ;):

====
#! /bin/bash

emerge -epv world
emerge -e world \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst \
|| emerge --resume --skipfirst
=====

chmod +x eworld

nohup ./eworld & tail -f nohup.out

at the end

grep "ERROR.*fail" nohup.out

to see if something is gone wrong.

this seem to be your first post, welcome here  Gyuri

You probably search for the --emptytree option.

Hmmm, If I'm reading this and if I'm seeing that this is not the problem
of just one user ... I'll be very glad to install with 2005.0 8-|

... if this appears right after installation with 2005.1, of course.

Just a thought

Thanks four your answers, "ls -ld /" says the same as yours, but with 
much less rights (my user "manowar" even dont have read, enter (folders) 
and write access).
My fstab is correct. I mount /dev/hda6 (ext3) to "/" with the option 
noatime and with "0 1" at the end of the line. Should I mount it with 
"defaults" option?

Thanks, I think I still have the 2004.3 image laying around somewhere.

"chmod 755 /" should fix this.

Noatime only affects the way files are touched when they are read, it
speeds things up slightly. It has no bearing on permissions.

Yes, you're right. I tried 2004.3 and former MiniInstall discs and this 
did not happen. It don't make any mess until now, all my software is 
able to work.
But it's a little strange to me. I recommend you 2004.3, you won't 
experience this restriction.

I've done a pair of installation of 2005.1 and the and the root dir is
mounted 0755.
#ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root 488 Aug 13 05:19 /

there are not many place where the mounting of "/" dir happen:

/etc/init.d/bootmisc  here / is mounted read only to start the work
/etc/init.d/checkroot this one check and remount "/"

boot are installed from sys-apps/baselayout , here
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13 .

Thank you very much, I'll give it a try. I've used 2001.-universe and an

Hi,
Some days ago installed a new XeN0-kernel on a 2GB partition and
everything seemed to be OK, only some error while emerging anything, but
resolved to deal with this later. Now saw i also have wrong permissions
on "/"(d-wxr----t  18 root root 4096 Aug 13 15:58 /mnt/crypt/ - checked
from by regular Gentoo install), may be a bug with 2005.1 install disks.

In the specular thread that it's evolving right now [I (user) can write
to / ... but why]

there is an answer like this:

|The problem on both my laptop and workstation was simply the fact that
|the root partition (/) was owned by UID=1000 GUI=100. Apparently this
|is
|a bug, but a simple `chown root:root /` was sufficient to fix the
|problem, and I also changed several file-permissions in underlying
|directories (like usr).

If you find something similar try a command like this:

#find / -gid=100 -uid=1000 -type d
(find all directories owned by user 1000:100, the first user in gentoo)

!!! LOOK WELL AT THE OUTPUT !!!
if you think *all* that directoryes should be owned by root this make
the change.

#find / -gid=100 -uid=1000 -type d -exec chown 0:0 {} \;
