Kernel 3.6.0 introduced tightened security regarding links: https://lwn.net/Articles/503671/ This is a problem for at-3.1.8 as shipped with 12.1, 12.2 and Factory. atd fails to create the hardlink when executing an at job: atd[7538]: Can't link execution file a00001015797e8: Operation not permitted Already fixed in atd upstream (which is Debian, right?): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597130 The patch for backports: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/at.git;a=commitdiff;h=f4114... Workaround (reverts behavior to kernel < 3.6) sysctl -w fs.protected_hardlinks=0 An updated at package would be nice. At least for tumbleweed where the 3.6.x kernel is already available too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
