Looking a little closer at the install script, it actually performs a check to see if it is running as root, and if not doesn't set those owner/group permissions - in other branches, this check works correctly. So the question is, why does mock in EPEL 5 run as root, but not in EPEL6 and Fedora? This seems like a bit of a security issue! _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
