Package: tiger Version: 1:3.2.3-10 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have local scripts that I invoke from cron. Since these are local their rightful place is in /usr/local. But that causes the following Tiger complaints: # Performing check of `cron' entries... NEW: --WARN-- [cron003] cron entry for root uses `/usr/local/bin/anice' which contains `/usr/local' which is group `staff' writable. NEW: --WARN-- [cron003] cron entry for root uses `/usr/local/bin/anice' which contains `/usr/local/bin' which is group `staff' writable. NEW: --WARN-- [cron003] cron entry for root uses `/usr/local/sbin/local-backup-all' which contains `/usr/local' which is group `staff' writable. NEW: --WARN-- [cron003] cron entry for root uses `/usr/local/sbin/local-backup-all' which contains `/usr/local/sbin' which is group `staff' writable. No package appears to own these directories but I checked on a brand new Debian 6.0.6 install and have confirmed that they were created by Debian with precisely this group ownership and permissions. This means we have one part of Debian complaining another part of Debian is wrong. So either Tiger should be modified to not complain about these permissions, or the Debian installer, and probably Debian policy too, should be modified to use settings more palatable to Tiger. For reference here is the output of 'ls -ld' on these directories: drwxrwsr-x 10 root staff 4096 juil. 20 2011 /usr/local/ drwxrwsr-x 3 root staff 4096 oct. 16 18:30 /usr/local/bin/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 juin 23 2008 /usr/local/etc/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 juin 23 2008 /usr/local/games/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 juin 23 2008 /usr/local/include/ drwxrwsr-x 7 root staff 4096 nov. 7 11:15 /usr/local/lib/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 9 juin 23 2008 /usr/local/man -> share/man/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 nov. 18 02:55 /usr/local/sbin/ drwxrwsr-x 11 root staff 4096 oct. 1 10:58 /usr/local/share/ drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 juin 23 2008 /usr/local/src/ -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tiger depends on: ii binutils 2.22-7.1 ii bsdmainutils 9.0.3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.46 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii net-tools 1.60-24.2 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 Versions of packages tiger recommends: ii chkrootkit 0.49-4.1 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.80-5.1 ii john 1.7.8-1 pn tripwire | aide <none> Versions of packages tiger suggests: ii lsof 4.86+dfsg-1 -- debconf information: tiger/mail_rcpt: root tiger/policy_adapt: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
