hi
thank for input on the barely documented rpm feature. but what's about:
[root@obelix sysstat-5.0.1]# cd /dev
[root@obelix dev]# ll hdd
brw------- 1 ronald disk 22, 64 Feb 23 22:02 hdd
[root@obelix dev]# chmod u+x hdd
[root@obelix dev]# ll hdd
brwx------ 1 ronald disk 22, 64 Feb 23 22:02 hdd
[root@obelix dev]# rpm --setperms hdd
Ronald,
hdd is not a package, it is part of the contents of a package.....
Also /dev/hdd is the raw device on the secondary ide slave. It is not a filesystem and cannot be accessed by anything AFAIK except using fdisk (and associates), or dd tools on it. It cannot even be mounted.
You should not be changing permissions on the /dev devices, but rather on the filesystems that are accessible when those devices are mounted.
