After the first reboot of PClos KDE

You're trying it after the first boot ? Come on melodie... Use the damn thing for at least two weeks and then check your logs... Only then jump to conclusions.

Come on DON..

Your must remember that WE always check the depth of the water with BOTH FEET

Hi !

Oh yes !

And reboot != boot

melodie,

I used this script (as root) to fix those permissions:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

chmod 744 /etc/init.d/{pand,fuse,acpid,harddrake,qemu,sshd,ntpd,haldaemon,bluetooth,cpufreq,xfs,dund,kheader,hidd,messagebus,udev-post,ip6tables,sendmail,anacron,msec,boinc-client,iptables}

chmod 644 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
chmod 2755 /var/spool/mail
chmod 2755 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/{10lang.csh,90ssh-askpass.sh,10tmpdir.sh,gvfs-bash-completion.sh,90ssh-askpass.csh,90ssh-client.sh,20less.sh,10inputrc.csh,10inputrc.sh,10lang.sh,10tmpdir.csh,20less.csh}
chmod 755 /var/log/samba/cores

for dir in cron daemons gdm kernel lpr mail news; do
    chmod 640 /var/log/$dir/*
done

chmod 640 /var/log/samba/cores/{nmbd,smbd}

You can adapt it to your particular setup. Also, note that /var/log/* stuff will still be created with wrong permissions (at least according to msec) even after running the script. Something in the cron scripts I guess but I have no time to dig deeper...

Hello don_crissti,

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try next. I have an additional question about that : do you think the changes done on the part of the script that don't belong to /var/log will be fixed for long, or that it may change fast again according to whatever will be updated ?

I will have a few more questions, about little weirdies in the Gnome version... I'll open a new thread about that.

Cheers, Mélodie

Those files should be fixed for good but still, you should check that yourself, 3-4 weeks after running the script (or fixing the permission manually). Updates might change a few things here and there indeed but as I said, you should keep an eye on this matter and take note of what changes, when and why...

Hi,

Thanks for all your answers. I fear I wouldn't have time to pursue such precise experiments... life goes on.
