Description Andris Pavenis 2013-12-19 12:43:51 UTC

Description of problem:

schroot fails to open session with an error message like:

[andris@ap doc]$ schroot -pc c32
E: centos-i386-0721e417-a54a-452a-bf95-5b20140efcb6: Failed to lock chroot: /var/lib/schroot/session/centos-i386-0721e417-a54a-452a-bf95-5b20140efcb6: Failed to write session file: Permission denied


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

schroot-1.6.5-3.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to use schroot
2.
3.

Actual results:

I'm getting an error message as mentioned above

Expected results:

normal operation (worked before upgrade to Fedora 20)

Additional info:

Tested on 2 Fedora 20 systems
Problem can be workarounded by makeing /usr/bin/schroot suid root
(perhaps group rights would be preferable, but that should be fixed in the
package)

[andris@ap doc]$ ls -l /var/lib/schroot
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 14:40 mount
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 14:40 session
