Bug 128446 – fcrontab: error while loading shared libraries

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kandalincev Alexandre 2006-04-01 15:09:28 UTC]

This error occurs if user in group root(for other users all ok):
fcrontab: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

in strace strange things like 'open("/usr/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)    = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)'

My perms:
localhost ~ # ls -lad /
d-wxr----t  20 root root 4096 Apr  1 23:42 /

The solution is:
localhost ~ # chmod g+x /

Here is some discussion about it:

The bug easy reproducable. Do 'chmod g-x /' and run 'fcrontab' by root.

BTW might i have wrong perms on "/"? If yes dont kill me please.

Uh... yeah, your / permissions are indeed completely wrong.

ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 464 2006-03-31 19:36
