Summary: permissions of /opt changed
Description:
facter change the permissions of /opt, before install:
# ls -ld /opt
drwxr-xr-x 7 root sys 512 Mar 22 17:12 /opt
after install:
# ls -ld /opt
drwxrwxr-x 7 root sys 512 Mar 22 17:12 /opt
Some programs (sendmail) can\'t run if there is group write on elements of
the path. It is best to just not list the system directories in a CSW
package. Also best to leave out files/directories in CSWcommon and add a
depend for CSWcommon.

Hi
There is nothing in the pkg that should touch the permissions of /opt. It
is set
d none /opt ? ? ?
in the prototype file
Also I cannot reproduce this. I\'ve taken an entirely clean Solaris x86
machine:
# exec bash
bash-3.00# PATH=$PATH:/opt/csw/bin/:/opt/csw/sbin/
bash-3.00# pkginfo CSWfacter
ERROR: information for \"CSWfacter\" was not found
bash-3.00# ls -ld /opt/
drwxr-xr-x 10 root sys 512 Apr 19 23:29 /opt/
bash-3.00# yes | pkg-get install facter 2&>1 > /dev/null
bash-3.00# !ls
ls -ld /opt/
drwxr-xr-x 10 root sys 512 Apr 19 23:29 /opt/
bash-3.00# !pkginfo
pkginfo CSWfacter
application CSWfacter facter - a system fact gatherer
Could you please describe exactly why you think the facter package is the
cause of this?
Thanks

This is strange. Do you have all the dependencies of facter installed
already? Are you sure it isn\'t one of these that is causing the change?
Assuming that another package is not responsible, could you give me
details of your exact OS version and platform (uname -a) so I can try and
reproduce this.
Thanks

I\'ve no access to a sparc or a sol 8 machine at this time (at least, not
as root). So reproducing this is difficult. There is a new version of
facter available in newpkgs which may or may not exhibit the same behaviour
as the one you\'ve already tried. I\'d be grateful if you could attempt to
reproduce the permissions change issue with this new package.
Thanks

1.3.7 still has:
1 d none /opt ? ? ?
I recommend removing /opt from the package prototype to avoid these
problems.
