tar permission problems
I've set up one machine in a lab of identical machines with Debian. I
then create a tar
file from that set up and transfer the tar file to CD. I then untar on
the other machines.
The procedure works nice (I can set up a machine in about 15 minutes)
but I'm having
trouble with a lot of the file permissions on the cloned machines. /tmp
and /dev/null are
created without write permission for groups and other. I can restore
these permissions
but I have no idea what other premissions aren't restored.
I untar with the -p option which is supposed to preserve permissions, but
it doesn't seem
to. I thought my umask might be a problem, but it doesn't seem to be.
Help please. Thank you.
