No. rpm --setperms takes *forever*, and I probably can't use it from within rpm itself, in any case. Like I said, I'm calling fixperm from %triggerin.
I don't think fixperm would update permissions on *everything*, merely on certain files and directories that are essential for correct system operation (/var/spool etc.) I can't even remember exactly why I need it, but it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a slightly non-standard (from a Red Hat perspective) setup for some of the special users and groups, which is in turn desirable because we have different Unix(ish) systems that have somewhat different defaults in this respect. - Toralf _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
