From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: If you have files in /mnt, pam_console_apply changes their permissions and ownership. For example: I have executable files in /mnt which mounts or unmounts drives. This file are: /mnt/zip-mnt /mnt/zip-umnt and so on. The problem is, that the files will be set to not-executable because this entry in /etc/security/console.perms: <console> 0600 <zip> 0600 root.disk But my file "zip-mnt" is not "zip" - but pam_console_apply changes it too! I think it is a bug - the right entry for such behavior should be: <console> 0600 <zip*> 0600 root.disk Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot... 2. 3. Additional info:
You didn't read the man console.perms. The <zip> entry doesn't specify the filename directly it's defined elsewhere in the file.
