[gentoo-user] How to control permissions on / ?

Hi there,

Can you control permissions on /? If so, how? I've found that I have the
following in two different machines:

proxy ~ # ls -ld /
d-wxr----t  19 root root 472 Nov 15 17:41 /
protos ~ # ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root 440 mar 10  2005 /

I've been having a permission related problem in the first machine (you can
find the description in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116247) and
as the guy from the Gentoo team tells, maybe it's related to this...

TIA, best regards
Jose

Sure.

Just like with every other directory - chown & chmod.

I installed a machine a few months ago, oct?, that had the same 
permissions as the first machine you list above. I never did figure out 
why that machine had strange permissions, but a number of other people 
seem to have had the same issue around the same time. I've installed a 
number of machine since and haven't run into it again.

In any case a chmod 755 / fixed it.

Did you use the Gentoo installer?

Ha, ha!  Yes, ME TOO!  :-D

Although I am convinced that ME TOO is a bit buggy. :-))

With regards to the original post isn't this perhaps controlled from the
umask setting in /etc/profile?  I am not currently at my machine to
check what's what, but I ran up to a permissions problem while trying to
emerge sox (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83331).  Still not
sure why the permissions of the particular directory were not as they
should have been on an old installation of mine, while everything went
fine on a newer box.

IIRC I used the regular manual install with 2005.1 media, but not 
2005.1-r1 which I've used since. However I don't see how anything other 
than a PEBKAC could have caused it. I don't think the stage3 would 
change permissions on /mnt/gentoo when expending out which is the only 
other logical idea I can come up with it.

Well, then there are two Gentoo installers, ME and
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/ :o)

Although I am convinced that ME TOO is a bit buggy. :-))

umask is set to 022, that seems to be perfectly correct. I don't know where
did those permissions came from, but I'm quite sure I didn't set them.

Well, as I told in another post, I'm quite sure I didn't change those
permisssions to such an strange combination, at least I wasn't aware I did
it, if I did it at all... but I'll have to admit a PEBKAC for this.

Jose
