Description Erik Thiele 2004-09-30 10:18:24 UTC

on my machine /var/run/nscd is permissioned

rwxr-x--- root root

instead it should be

rwxr-xr-x root root

because otherwise normal users cannot use the nscd daemon.
just do
strace ls -l
in order to see that he tries to access /var/run/nscd/socket
and gets a EACCESS error. currently only root can use the nscd daemon.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1
