OK; I think I've figured out the cause of the problem. What happens is that Portage |
| 14 |
will create the /tmp/portage directory if it doesn't exist, and uses 0755 perms for |
| 15 |
both. Since you built your system from scratch, Portage created /tmp/portage before |
| 16 |
baselayout could be built and merged, and thus the 1777 perms were not applied. The |
| 17 |
fix is for me to specifically check if ${ROOT}/tmp exists, and if not, create it with |
| 18 |
the sticky bit explicitly set. |

Thanks for the info you provided, as it helped me to track down the problem. Now to |
| 21 |
fix this in Portage... |
