Everywhere that portage operates or owns things, should the ownership not be portage.portage and what would the typical permissions be? Is there a master list I can look at? Surely root not own all these dirs, like /usr/portage/* ? My /usr/portage is root.root and 755 on permissions, is that right? If so, why? In my /usr/local/portage and it's subdirs where I hack on many ebuild, portage.portage owns everything.....? Curious, and I cannot remember ever looking at this.... James
