Full Discussion: /var/lock/subsys permission denied for root
Operating Systems Linux /var/lock/subsys permission denied for root Post 302641055 by flagman5 on Tuesday 15th of May 2012 02:47:59 PM

hmm you are right, I wasn't being logical with my testing.

if I have that line in, both a regular user and root have issues. (by line, i mean the code associated with using that variable as well, which is just a simple if-statement to use lockfp) if i take out that section, the regular user can execute the code but then the root still has the same problem.

thanks, i'll investigate some more.

pam_console_apply

pam_console_appy(8)					   System Administrator's Manual				       pam_console_appy(8)

NAME

       pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console

SYNOPSIS

       pam_console_apply [-r]

DESCRIPTION

       pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console.
       If  /var/run/console.lock  exists,  pam_console_apply  will grant permissions to the user listed therein.  If the lock file does not exist,
       permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root
       owns them.

ARGUMENTS

       -r     Signals  pam_console_apply to reset permissions.	The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock
	      has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists.

FILES

       /var/run/console.lock
       /etc/security/console.perms

SEE ALSO

       pam_console(8)
       console.perms(5)
