Some while ago (no idea when exactly, could be 6 months ago or a year ago), I stopped being able to use "elogv" as a regular user. Something had changed the permissions of the "/var/log/portage" and "/var/log/portage/elog" directories. The only thing I know for sure, is that it wasn't me who changed them (and I'm the only user of that machine.) See the related bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404413 So I have a question: did anyone else here notice this as well? What is the output of: ls -ld /var/log/portage /var/log/portage/elog on your system?
