| |
Hi
When logging as normal user to my system, I get all the usual messages and then when /etc/profile tries to read /proc/$$/exe to determine the running shell I get (most of the time):
/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/###/exe: Permission denied
When I start "bash -l", everything works as expected, but no idea why it does work this time and not when starting from the login: prompt. Permissions of the link /proc/$$/exe are always 777, so I cannot see any problem.
All this does not appear all the time and never to root. It seems to be a matter of timing or something like that, but I do not have any idea as to what is happening in kernel. 2.5.69 is working, 2.5.70 is funny. When the first read did fail, it will fail always afterwards and vice versa.
This is on Debian testing, bash version is 2.05b.0, gcc is 3.3 (Debian), arch is i386/Athlon 700.
Every help will be greatly appreciated.
Peter B
