i just installed freebsd 2.0. whenever i log in as someone
other than "root" i cannot use any programs that write to
"/tmp". for instance, running "vi .cshrc" results in "log
db: Permission denied." How can I fix this?
thanks!

Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Adam Mitchell (adamm@netcom.com) had the courage to say: : i just installed freebsd 2.0. whenever i log in as someone : other than "root" i cannot use any programs that write to : "/tmp". for instance, running "vi .cshrc" results in "log : db: Permission denied." How can I fix this? : thanks! : adam mitchell : -- : adamm@netcom.com Log in as root and do the following: % chmod 1777 /tmp % chmod 1777 /var/tmp (<- just to be safe) -- -Bill Paul wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu

How can I fix this? chmod 1777 /tmp gives permissions to everyone for /tmp and sets the sticky bit so people can't delete files belonging to others alex
