Re: 0.7.46 changelog: Change /run/network ownership to root:netdev.
I don't understand that entry. Should I have /run/network group set to netdev? Should I have a netdev group somewhere? Is there a bug? You do not need to do anything. At boot, the 'network' in /run is supposed to have its ownership changed from root:root to root:netdev by /etc/init.d/networking. Some machines did not have the group called netdev on their machine (it is a system group, and was only being created if certain packages were installed) and a warning was being shown at boot time. This change makes the warning go away on machines that were affected. HTH, Dave W. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
