First, my /etc/nsswitch.conf file contains: group: files nis so that groups local to the machine have the precedence. There is a slocate group in NIS: dixsept:~# ypmatch slocate group slocate:*:21:root # pour linux but not yet locally. /etc/group contains a group with the same gid 21: fax:x:21: that comes from the initial Debian installation. This means that the NIS slocate group is not visible. Then I install slocate with "apt-get install slocate". This gives: Unpacking slocate (from .../slocate_2.7-4_i386.deb) ... Adding `diversion of /usr/bin/locate to /usr/bin/locate.notslocate by slocate' Adding `diversion of /usr/bin/updatedb to /usr/bin/updatedb.notslocate by slocate' Adding `diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/locate.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/locate.notslocate.1.gz by slocate' Adding `diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/updatedb.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/updatedb.notslocate.1.gz by slocate' Adding `diversion of /etc/cron.daily/find to /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate by slocate' Setting up slocate (2.7-4) ... WARNING: You should run '/etc/cron.daily/slocate' as root. locate will not work properly until you do or until it is run by cron (it is daily). without any error concerning the groups. The installed binary is setgid fax, which is incorrect: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root fax 27064 2004-09-14 07:48:59 /usr/bin/slocate In the postinst script, everything occurs as if the slocate group were visible. Probably a bug in nis, then. For instance: dixsept:~# touch blah dixsept:~# ls -l blah -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2004-12-07 17:16:09 blah dixsept:~# chown root.slocate blah dixsept:~# ls -l blah -rw-r--r-- 1 root fax 0 2004-12-07 17:16:09 blah -- Vincent Lef�vre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
