Description of problem: / lacks user write permission. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 36 How reproducible: 100% Steps to reproduce: 1. ls -la / Actual results: total 84 dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Aug 22 17:48 ./ Expected results: total 84 drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Aug 22 17:48 ./ Practical effect: This blocks https://invent.kde.org/sitter/kio-admin from allowing the creation of files on / because it respects folder permissions.
Thank you for reporting this issue. The behavior you describe is intentional. It is a part of lowering capabilities project: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LowerProcessCapabilities and the change from rwx to r-x on / was introduced by the below BZ and follow-up commit: [Bug 517575 - Changes for lowering capabilities project] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517575 https://pagure.io/filesystem/c/2768c46e35ca900637775c3c4604895f77e4856b There is no plan to change this. If you really need to write into /, you will have to set CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE. For more information, please, refer to the mentioned BZ and the links there.
