Using the livecd for the new install: install-x86-universal-2005.1.iso After the install, one tries to get sudo working, but it always fails with $ sudo ls sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied access writes on / set wrongly to d-wxr----t ls -ld / d-wxr----t 19 root root 4096 Oct 2 18:02 / Resetting them with "chmod 755 /" resulted in # ls -ld / drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 952 Oct 1 23:50 / and sudo now works as expected.
This is a duplicate and documented with a red warning in the handbook for example here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5#doc_chap3 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101567 ***
So, why not just fix the bug instead of writing it in a document that I never saw. I was just following the "Gentoo Linux x86 Quick Install Guide".
