Description of problem: Hi I copied my old home dir from ubuntu to a second drive then installed fedora, then dragged what i needed back. but i always get errors now, it's as if fedora installed and detected something in the old home dir. on boot up i get this problem: Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 91: fileclass: cannot open 'etc/mail/local-host-names': world writeable directory. i also get two similar errors under that section with /etc/mail/trusted-users. then when x starts etc, i get this error: User's $Home/.drmc file is being ignored. This prevents default session. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User $Home directory should be owned by user and not writeable by others. it all seems to be permission probs that started from backing up my old home dir from ubuntu. can anyone please help me fix this. thanks.
the forums or IRC would be a better place to get help fixing these issues. chown $(id -un).$(id.gn) ~ -R chmod 644 ~/.dmrc (as the user) find /etc -exec chmod o-w {} \; (as root) may fix things somewhat. rpm -qVa should give a list of other problems.
hi thanks for helping me out, i came to bugzilla from desperation as i've tried many times on irc and no one seems to be able to help me. i figured this was a kind of bug as all i did was install with an old home dir on another drive, this shouldn't have conflicted anything really... i inputted what you said: [jonah@localhost ~]$ chown $(id -un).$(id.gn) ~ -R bash: id.gn: command not found as for the rpm -qVa bit, there are so many things scrolling past that they don't fit in my terminal history so i can't paste it in...
i'm sorry, when I typed id.gn i meant to type id -gn you can redirect the output of rpm -qVa to a file with >, for example, rpm -qVa > verify.log
Created attachment 290740 [details] output of rpm command i was given hi here is the log file you needed.
