Description Karl-Robert Ernst 2009-03-07 17:04:11 UTC
Installing any game from portage, the directory "/usr/games/" gets "games:root" as owners, while all other games directories get the right "root:games".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmerge all games
2. delete /usr/games
3. insall a game from portage

Actual Results:  
ls -l /usr/
drwxr-xr-x   5 games root           40 19. Okt 21:47 games
Owned by user games, group: root

Expected Results:  
ls -l /usr/
drwxr-xr-x   5 root games           40 19. Okt 21:47 games
Owned by user root and group games.

Happens on all tested games.

reopen with the output from emerge --info and a list of some of the games you tried.

bugzilla.
Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-29 05:19:20 UTC
I can't reproduce this.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2015-01-16 15:19:43 UTC
Actually, /usr/games is created with the wrong owner and group during games_pkg_setup():

    enewuser "${GAMES_USER_DED}" 36 /bin/bash "${GAMES_PREFIX}" "${GAMES_GROUP}"

Default values are these:

    GAMES_PREFIX=/usr/games
    GAMES_USER_DED=games
    GAMES_GROUP=games

And enewuser() (from user.eclass) does this:

    mkdir -p "${ROOT}/${ehome}"
    chown "${euser}" "${ROOT}/${ehome}"
    chmod 755 "${ROOT}/${ehome}"

So indeed /usr/games will end up as games:root.

Does the games user need a homedir? Otherwise, enewuser could pass -1 for the respective argument.
