           Summary: xorg permissions in rpm package too strict
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: RC 2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: X.Org
        AssignedTo: sndirsch@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: olh@xxxxxxxxxx

/usr/bin/Xorg is packaged with permissions -rwx--x--x / 0711

I assume that Xorg can not really work without suid flag, thats why it is
listed in /etc/permissions.easy with permissions 4711
Each SuSEconfig run (manually or via rpm postin) will adjust the permissions.

The problem is that Xorg ends up with 0711 in the inst-sys. If the inst-sys is
on an nfs server, the Xorg binary will not be readably by gdb. Attaching to the
Xorg process will fail with permission denied. Probably because the read
request comes in as user nobody on the remote side.

I suggest to package Xorg (and Xvnc?) with 0755 in rpm. SuSEconfig will correct
the permissions as needed.

If thats asking for too  much, pass it on to snwint.
