 |
|
I finished a 2005.1 installation, and as a user I cannot read the contents of /. I can read the contents of subdirectories, but just not /.
Do I need to change permissions on both / and /dev/hda3? What should the permissions look like on both / and the device?
| Code: |
joel@tux ~ $ ls -ld /
d-wxr----t 20 root root 496 Aug 9 23:41 /
joel@tux ~ $ ls -ld /etc
drwxr-xr-x 44 root root 3344 Aug 13 12:54 /etc
joel@tux ~ $ ls -l /dev/hda3
brw-rw---- 1 root root 3, 3 Aug 10 18:18 /dev/hda3

Just out of curiosity, did you do a stage3 install and also do you have a athlon-xp, pentium 3 or pentium 4 architecture?
| Quote: | | Warning: The stage3-athlon-xp-2005.1.tar.bz2, stage3-pentium3-2005.1.tar.bz2, and stage3-pentium4-2005.1.tar.bz2 files have a serious permission error. After extracting any of these, run chmod 0755 /mnt/gentoo to fix the error before continuing with the installation. |

Don't feel bad. I just attempted a stage3 install with the athlon-xp tarball, and I was already past configuring my kernel before I realized it. (I didn't realize it until I read your question and then remembered the permission error  ).

Hm. I used a printout of the handbook that was a few days older than the 2005.1 release. It didn't have that warning, obviously.
The installation went fine, however, and I've been using the system for several days without a hitch except for users not being able to read the contents of / zero levels deep. What are the permissions supposed to be for / and /dev/hda3? 755? Can you do a `ls -ld /` and `ls -l /dev/hda3`?
I wonder if there were any other repercussions that I am not aware of during the installation that will catch up with me later. |
