Hi, In SuSE 7.2 I have a weird problem, and I know that some special suse script is causing it. 1. Files that I purposely change perms on are changed back 2. The link /usr/lib/java is pointed to jdk1.1.8, when I want it to be jdk1.3, if I change it, it changes back in short manner. I want to know how to stop this for only these two files, not everything. I've heard of people disabling the script that does this altogether, but not just for a few files. Thanks! _Nick

Only stupid answers: In /etc/rc.config Jawa issues. # # SuSEconfig can automatically create the links /usr/lib/java and /usr/lib/jre # that point to a suitable JDK or JRE respectively if you set CREATE_JAVALINK # to "yes" # If you are not satisfied with the choice it makes, set CREATE_JAVALINK to # "no" and set the link manually. # CREATE_JAVALINK="yes" Permission issues: # # SuSEconfig can call chkstat to check permissions and ownerships for # files and directories (using /etc/permissions). # Setting to "set" will correct it, "warn" produces warnings, if # something strange is found. Disable this feature with "no". # CHECK_PERMISSIONS="set" Exactly what you need is here, isn't SuSE wonderful? :). Matt

disable SuSEconfig, there should be an option in /etc/rc.config to do this, its set to yes, just change it to no On Sat, 15 Sep 2001, Nick Webb wrote:

I would strongly advise against doing this. It will cause more problems than it solves when you are adjusting your configurations. Investigate the use of the /etc/permissions.local file. Cliff -- Regards Cliff

No, no, no. Please don't do this. Look at the /etc/permissions.* files according to the settings in rc.config (easy local secure paranoid...). You can set your permissions in those files. It's safer that way because it will automatically set the permissions you specify in the appropriate files in case they change back. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
