Dear OpenBSD folks :
I am not sure if this is a bug or not but if I am the root user
trying to run "syspatch" based on what I see at :
https://www.openbsdhandbook.com/upgrade/
I have the env var TMPDIR set to some place such as /tmp/root :
eris# uname -a
OpenBSD eris.bw.genunix.com 7.8 GENERIC.MP#54 amd64
eris# syspatch
syspatch: Can't open /tmp/root/syspatch.zOarCOZ7Ks/SHA256.sig:
Permission denied
eris#
However even if I allow anyone on the system to access the root
users TMPDIR files :
eris# chmod 1777 $TMPDIR
eris# syspatch
Get/Verify syspatch78-001_syspatc... 100%
|*****************************************************************|
8538 00:00
Installing patch 001_syspatch
syspatch: Read-only filesystem, aborting
eris#
Well it seems the TMPDIR means nothing to syspatch :
eris# unset TMPDIR
eris# syspatch
Get/Verify syspatch78-001_syspatc... 100%
|*****************************************************************|
8538 00:00
Installing patch 001_syspatch
syspatch: Read-only filesystem, aborting
eris#
Not sure what is going on here.
