1 Hi
2
3 What are the permission supposed to be for the /usr/share/config directory?
4
5 On my system only root had access to this directory causing kdm to
6 fail when it tries to run /usr/share/kdm/Xsession. I fixed the error
7 by changing the permission with chmod a+rx /usr/share/config. Are
8 /usr/share/config supposed to be readable by any user, or have I
9 opened up a big security whole on my system?
10
11 I saw a simular old bug about this with kde 3.3
12 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/65392) where the permissions of
13 /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm/Xsession was wrong.
