On two machines I have installed the same zypper package (0.6.15-0.1).
On machine one the setuid bit is not set an machine two is set. On both machines "rpm -V zypper" gives no messages.
Now I entered "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper" and "rpm -V zypper" prints "/usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper should be root:root 0755. (wrong permissions 4755)".
Where does this difference come from?
Not sure on that, but the perms are different depending n your security settings, and SuSEconfig will correct the perms depending on your setting. If it is set to easy, it is set to 4755 and works. If set to secure (my preference) it is reset to 755 and does not work, but they do provide a great clue in the error message. Mine is set to 4755 via permissions.local and rpm -V has no problems with zypper. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
