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...

NAME
pmdirs - print out module directories DESCRIPTION
This just prints out the current @INC path, one directory per line. This is for people who don't want to parse through "perl -V" output or hack up their own calls to "perl -e". EXAMPLES
$ pmdirs /home/tchrist/perllib/i686-linux /home/tchrist/perllib /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554 /usr/local/devperl/lib/site_perl/5.00554/i686-linux /usr/local/devperl/lib/site_perl/5.00554 . This also works for alternate version of Perl: $ filsperl -S pmdirs /home/tchrist/perllib /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554 /usr/local/filsperl/lib/site_perl/5.00554/i686-linux-thread /usr/local/filsperl/lib/site_perl/5.00554 .
