Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc5 contains a system to store permissions, but in |
| 17 |
order for it to work, you must *not* enable the "Automatically mount |
| 18 |
devfs at kernel boot" option. If you fix your kernel so that this |
| 19 |
option is disabled, then your perms should get stored. This bug will |
| 20 |
be fixed in 1.0_rc6. |
