| |
In lk 2.5.64 on my i386 box the sysfs mount point ( "/sys") changes permission from: drwxr-xr-x to drw-r--r-- during the boot process. I didn't notice this feature in lk 2.5.63 . Chmodding the directory back to its former permissions get overridden by subsequent boot sequences.
This change in permissions inhibits non-root users from using utilities that scan sysfs for information (e.g. lsscsi).
Is this a feature or otherwise?
