Public bug reported: Something keeps regularly changing the file permissions on /tmp so that it is not writeable by any user other than root:
$ ls -ald /tmp drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 900 2007-05-03 19:27 /tmp so that user jobs which need to write temporary files fail until I manually change the permissions to allow all users to write to /tmp. But after a period (unfortunately I'm not sure how long) the permissions revert to the wrong values again. /tmp is a tmpfs filesystem, specified in /etc/fstab as: /dev/tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=20g,noatime 0 0 ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- /tmp file permissions keep changing so only root can write to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
