On the current rc2 build I've now gone past that stage and perms are still: drwxr-xr-x 38 root root 4096 Aug 31 19:54 /usr/share/man but again, note that it was updated recently. Here, the time points to faad2, libupnp, or else cdparanoia or x264. The only two of those which install man pages are cdparanoia and faad2. I now suspect a race in faad2 (it was built with -j4 both times on this box, and -j2 on the other box). However, I've now looked at the first part of my backups (I use a two stage process - rsync to an area on the server, then copy that to something approaching a set of generation data groups. Anyway, I see the sgid on my server itself, both for its current (7.2) and previous builds, and on most semi-recent desktop builds - including one which was originally on an older single-processor machine that I copied over to get me started. In that case, the date of /usr/share/man is before I got the new machine, so it isn't a race during parallel makes. Weird. Of course the thing is that there is no problem with sgid - a normal user can still read the pages. I wonder if I'm misreading, and this is something that happens in the background for 'man' ? Updatedb is a script and doesn't do it. I ran mandb but that didn't alter it either. Giving up, but will make a note to undo sgid whenever I notice it. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
