Summary: untar permissions
Product: Sorcery
Version: 1.13.x
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Unknown
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: jblosser-smgl AT firinn.org


I'm not exactly sure which component we'll say isn't quite right here, but one
general symptom is this:

# ls -l /etc/{limits,login.defs}
-rw-rw-r-- 1 2732 2732 725 Dec 14 1997 /etc/limits
-rw-rw-r-- 1 2732 2732 9208 Feb 7 01:41 /etc/login.defs

Note the ownership on both of these.

The chain that leads to this is:
1) sorcery untars things as root, using the user/group stored in the tarball
2) install_config_file installs these files via cp -p

Other symptoms include dirs under /usr/src having odd permissions.

There are a few ways to fix this... changing the cp to be cp
--preserve=mode,timestamps would be one, but fixing the untar to use root:root
ownership would be better globally.
