Full Discussion: replacing corrupt /tmp dir..
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users replacing corrupt /tmp dir.. Post 73173 by moxxx68 on Saturday 28th of May 2005 06:58:54 PM

prob with selinux is the permission enforcement when enabled.. so it wouldn't let me back in unless i unlocked the perms... close to 1777 is what screwed it up due to SE (security enhanced).... SE refused it and when i finally broke back into the system gconf-usrs had been corrupted.. a few files were erased and a few lib files couldn't be recreated.. so even after i disabled SE reconfiguring gconf files amongst others in /tmp was impossible...

edit;; i know that SE can lock files and i am pretty sure it can erase certain files when necessary.. so i guess those files bit the dust when the chmod hit the targeted SE policy.. if i could configure SElinux (i could do anything!) its government developed and very complex so the better route would be to revamp /tmp.. if i knew how!..
thanx for your input anyways...
