- Subject: Base-files 3.4-1: Problems for users with Non-Admin. priv.
When loging as user without admn. priv.
(e.g.: owner= Graziosi, group= Users)
the standard bash shell (cygwin.bat) says:
chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Permission denied
This is caused by
if [ -d "/tmp" ]; then
chmod 1777 /tmp
fi
in /etc/profile.
It assign the permission "t" to /tmp but this was already a problem
with xorg-x11-xwin-6.8.2.0-1 and org-x11-xwin-gl-6.8.2.0-1.
The next, 6.8.2.0-2, was released exactly to fix that problem.
The solution was to not assign the "t" permission to /tmp and
to whatever it contans!
