[Bug 11196] Re: /usr/local permissions (or membership of staff)
Oh, sorry, I was misled by the previous comment -- the original intent of this bug was apparently to put the first user into the 'staff' group. Since this group does not really have a purpose, I reject this bug. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Rejected -- /usr/local permissions (or membership of staff) https://launchpad.net/bugs/11196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 11196] Re: /usr/local permissions (or membership of staff)
This bug has been actually fixed 1.5 years ago: base-files (3.1.0ubuntu2) hoary; urgency=low * debian/postinst: Do not install /usr/local and subdirectories with "staff" group writeability. This group is essentially root-equivalent, but there are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS). * debian/rules: Do not install /home as root:staff, it makes no sense. * debian/2775-dirs: Remove "home". * Ubuntu bug #7449 -- Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 11 Mar 2005 11:30:07 +0100 ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released -- /usr/local permissions (or membership of staff) https://launchpad.net/bugs/11196 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My /usr/local (on Edgy) is root:root 755... how about everyone else?

If its not updated in a few weeks i'll close it as dead. I haven't done a Ubuntu install in a while, but upgrades have not changed the permissions or ownership of /usr/local, and so if the issue was worth not closing immediately it is probably worth not closing it now.
