I have 7.1-RELEASE-p2 installed. compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16 linprocfs mounted linux_base-f8-8_10I changed to root (su -) before I installed skype. root's shell is /bin/csh. umask is 22. I can\t recall that I should have done anything "creative" with the root account. I just removed skype, checked that /usr/local/share/skype were removed, and reinstalled skype (this time I actually logged in as root instead of using 'su -'. I also checked that the umask was 22) with: make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes install and: will-try# ls -l /usr/local/share/|grep skype drwx------ 6 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:03 skype I'm not really sure if I understand the COPY_SHARE routine in bsd.port.mk: COPYTREE_SHARE= ${SH} -c '(${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 | ${CPIO} -dumpl $$1 >/dev/null \ 2>&1) && \ ${CHOWN} -R ${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} $$1 && \ ${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type d -exec chmod 755 $$1/{} \; && \ ${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type f -exec chmod ${SHAREMODE} $$1/{} \;' -- but it seems to me that the 4:th row change the permission on all directories below /usr/local/share/skype/. However, the permissions for the directory /usr/local/share/skype are not changed. I also made a quick test with cpio, to simulate how /usr/local/share/skype are created: will-try# ls -lR total 0 will-try# mkdir subdir will-try# find subdir | cpio -dumpl rootdir/ 0 blocks will-try# ls -lR total 4 drwx------ 3 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 rootdir drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir ./rootdir: total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir ./rootdir/subdir: total 0 ./subdir: total 0 It seems that the directory created by cpio do indeed get the wrong permissions. Maybe there should be an explicit change of the permission in COPYTREE_SHARE ? (chmod 755 $$1)
Yes, when I change /usr/local/share/skype from drwx------ to drwxr-xr-x I am able to get some response as user. But, as posted earlier, it only goes so far, ending by telling me that another instance of skype may be running (which, of course, it isn't).
