Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2006-04-08 10:57:26 UTC
After emerging net-analyzer/netselect-0.3-r1 I had to manually add the execute bit for others on /usr/bin/netselect. The default permissions: 
--
% ls -l /usr/bin/netselect 
-rws--x---  1 root wheel 10968 Apr  8 12:42 /usr/bin/netselect*
--

would not let me run the command. After running: `chmod o+x /usr/bin/netselect` I could then run the command. I looked in the ebuild and there is a fowners and fperms command that is not in the 0.3 ebuild. I looked into it but didn't know how to fix it via editing the ebuild.

Should be safe, as it drops root privileges internally

Fixed in cvs, thanks
