Sorry, I *totally* over looked this thread... I just read back on the thread... From: Robert Collins > Setup doesn't set any special permissions. It sets a generic umask and > mode, and applies that throughout. ALL special permissions, scripts, and > local customisations are done via post-install scripts, which run after > setup extracts the package files, and before setup completes. > > So, if the TEMP permissions need adjusting, it's the job of a > postinstall script (perhaps base-files in this case) to do that. Quite correct, it would be fine for a script in base-files to [create and] set the permissions on temp. However on my w2k box... ls -liash / | grep [t]mp 140662 0 drwxrwxrwx+ 13 Administ None 4.0k Mar 10 20:34 tmp ls -liash $TMP/.. 72887 0 drwx------+ 20 Administ None 36k Apr 6 08:16 Temp ls -liash $TEMP/.. 72887 0 drwx------+ 20 Administ None 36k Apr 6 08:16 Temp all of which should be writable for me (I think...). If somebody wants to write the script I'm quite happy to add it to base-files. [OT] Why isn't perl using /tmp? and perldoc perldoc works on my machine.
