Description Billy DeVincentis 2008-10-07 23:31:05 UTC

For users of libutempter in kde who require wall messaging, the correct permissions for utmp and wtmp are 664, not 644 as is scripted in /etc/init.d/bootmisc. This must be changed for kde write daemon to function properly.
We need to change this 

if dir_writeable /var/run; then
		ebegin "Creating user login records"
		cp /dev/null /var/run/utmp
		if dir_writeable /var/log; then
			logw=true
			[ -e /var/log/wtmp ] || cp /dev/null /var/log/wtmp
			chmod 0644 /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp
		fi
		eend 0





to  this


if dir_writeable /var/run; then
		ebegin "Creating user login records"
		cp /dev/null /var/run/utmp
		if dir_writeable /var/log; then
			logw=true
			[ -e /var/log/wtmp ] || cp /dev/null /var/log/wtmp
			chmod 0664 /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp
		fi
		eend 0

Reproducible: Always
