The quake3 ebuild comes with a startscript q3ded. This starts the quake3 server as user q3. This user's homedir is set to /opt/quake3 which was fine until somebody changed the ebuild to chown games.games -R the /opt/quake3 directory. This is fine, but then please change the user in the startscripts to games. This is also true for all quake3-* ebuilds, they essentially use the same startscript. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a fresh install of quake3 (or any quake3-*) (old ebuilds didn't suffer from this but you should have installed 1.32b anyway so this _will_ happen to you 2. try to start q3ded as user q3 (like the startscript does), it wants to write to ~/.q3a Actual Results: Q3 1.32b linux-i386 Nov 14 2002 ----- FS_Startup ----- Sys_Error: Unable to create directory "/opt/quake3/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13) Expected Results:
I'm working on an (almost finished) overhaul of the way q3ded stores persistent information, storing it in /var/games/q3d3d(-modname)/ (where it should be, according to HFS). I'd be more than willing to post what I've got if there is any interest in it.
