Re: usr mounted nosuid by default..?

Hi,

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but you don't need to reinstall.
You could edit /etc/fstab and if needed "tar zxvfp base37.tgz" and others

usr mounted nosuid by default..?

2005-06-25 Thread asdfasdf asfdasdfasdf
I'm not sure if this is a bug:

I just did a fresh 3.7 install on a sparc 64 machine
and my /usr partition was set to use nosuid by
default. This resulted in su not working for me.

I think I know what caused the problem to occur. When
I was partitioning my drive and specifying the mount
points I left a trailing slash when I specified the
/usr/ partition. This may have led to the installation
process not realizing what the mount options should
be.

The nosuid thing is the only inconsistency I've
noticed. Should I be concerned enough to do a
reinstall?

Should I file this as a bug? Leaving the trailing
slash seems like a perfectly natural "unixism".

If it is considered a bug, I'll try and duplicate it
again to see if I actually found the cause.
