If it is set to easy, it is set to 4755 and works. If set to secure (my preference) it is reset to 755 and does not work, but they do provide a great clue in the error message. Mine is set to 4755 via permissions.local and rpm -V has no problems with zypper. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On two machines I have installed the same zypper package (0.6.15-0.1). On machine one the setuid bit is not set an machine two is set. On both machines "rpm -V zypper" gives no messages. Now I entered "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper" and "rpm -V zypper" prints "/usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper should be root:root 0755. (wrong permissions 4755)". Where does this difference come from? Cheers, Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to add "/usr/sbin/zypp-checkpatches-wrapper root.root4755" to your /etc/permissions.local file (make sure you end this line with an enter, i.e new line). Then run SuSEconfig.
