From: David Wolfskill To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/30420: "make install" for stallion tries to write to /usr/src Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 20:37:52 -0700 (PDT) Further analysis (catalyzed by others' reports of failures at the same place) shows that my earlier assertions about trying to write to /usr/src are likely wildly inaccurate. Rather, the problem seem to be the mode of the created files: dhcp-140[1] cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/stallion dhcp-140[2] ls -la {,/usr/obj/`pwd`/}bootcode /usr/obj//usr/src/usr.sbin/stallion/bootcode: total 79 drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 7 06:57 . drwxrwxr-x 6 root wheel 512 Sep 7 05:50 .. -r--r----- 1 root wheel 31056 Sep 7 06:57 2681.sys -r--r----- 1 root wheel 41760 Sep 7 06:57 cdk.sys -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 4233 Sep 7 06:57 stl.4.gz bootcode: total 116 drwxrwxr-x 3 david wheel 512 Sep 7 10:57 . drwxrwxr-x 7 david wheel 512 Aug 31 05:26 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 david wheel 42912 Aug 31 05:26 2681.sys.uu drwxrwxr-x 2 david wheel 512 Aug 31 05:26 CVS -rw-rw-r-- 1 david wheel 401 Sep 7 10:57 Makefile -rw-rw-r-- 1 david wheel 57657 Aug 31 05:26 cdk.sys.uu -rw-rw-r-- 1 david wheel 12475 Aug 31 05:26 stl.4 dhcp-140[3] Since "root" on the client machine is treated as neither the root user nor a member of the wheel group (by default), the attempt to read the generated files fails, thus causing the install to fail. Sorry for the confusion; it still seems that there's a problem, though. Perhaps the "make buildworld" step could cause the generated files to have a less-restrictive mode...? david -- David H.
