Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
During the installation process, when creating mountpoints like /home, it
seems that the mountpoint is chmod'ed and chown'ed before it is used, but
that this is not repeated after the partition has been actually mounted
there. This way I finished the installation with /home access rights set to
02664 (equals to drw-rwSr--), which is far from correct IMHO (for example,
login then refused to change to the /home of my non-root account I have
created using adduser). Other mountpoints, like /usr and /var, were OK,
though. I believe this is because I repartitioned the disk in such a way
that all partitions but the one I used for /home started on the same
cylinder as before, only the start cylinder of /home has changed to new
place (which contained random trash perhaps). mkfs'ing the partitions (I
mkfs'ed all of them) obviously doesn't address this problem at all.
