I can not get the permissions to come out correctly when I try to CVSup my ports (& docs). Currently I am getting the permissions of 700 (in relation to root) Here is what I have for config files and what I have done.. # change "RELENG_4" to "RELENG_3" or "RELENG_2_2" respectively. *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection. It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections. # Please note: If you want to track -STABLE, leave this uncommented. ports-all tag=. doc-all ---------------clipped--------- #my umask root# umask 700 #so I changed it to 022 (to change perm. to 755) root# umask 22 #double check to make sure it worked root# umask 022 #okay, now I changed to /usr/ports (which probably isn't necessary, but) #and ran cvsup root# cd /usr/ports root# cvup /etc/stable-supfile #that completes successfully, so now I check the permissions again root# ls (equivalent to ls -l from my shell settings) total 2123 drwxr-xr-x 46 root wheel 1024 Jan 8 13:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 512 Dec 21 19:24 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 19 Jul 14 1997 .cvsignore -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1988444 Jan 6 11:43 INDEX -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 12163 Dec 27 09:27 LEGAL -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3221 Dec 23 03:58 Makefile drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Jan 8 13:05 Mk/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1410 Jun 11 1997 README drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Jan 8 13:05 Templates/ drwx------ 4 root wheel 512 Jan 8 13:05 Tools/ drwx------ 55 root wheel 1024 Jan 8 13:06 archivers/ drwx------ 48 root wheel 1024 Jan 8 13:06 astro/ drwx------ 264 root wheel 6144 Jan 8 13:07 audio/ drwx------ 24 root wheel 512 Jan 8 13:07 benchmarks/ drwx------ 50 root wheel 1024 Jan 8 13:08 biology/ ------clipped---- As you can see, all new directories are the wrong permissions. Only root is able to search the ports collection and run any of the programs I now install for some reason. Do you know what I am doing wrong???? If you have any ideas or tips, please let me know....
