man-db permission denied

[tommyk]

After the update yesterday I get this on my debian box, only file in man1 is csf.1;

Cron <root@server> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
/usr/bin/mandb: can't search directory /usr/local/share/man/man1/: Permission denied

I haven't changed any permissions on any var directories, at least not on purpose.

Yesterday I got a message that CSF/LFD was updated on my 2 servers.

This morning from both servers I got another message:

Code: Select all

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
/usr/bin/mandb: can't search directory /usr/local/share/man/man1/: Permission denied

I checked directory

Code: Select all

/usr/local/share/man/man1/

and found 1 file inside of it: csf.1 and permission of this directory is:

Code: Select all

drw---S--

- instead of

Code: Select all

drwxr-sr-x

Why this uodate changed the permissions?

we had same issue, using Debian Wheezy

here is ls -l d before fixing:

Code: Select all

# ls -ld /usr/local/share/man/man1
drw---S--- 2 root staff 4096 Jun 29 04:36 /usr/local/share/man/man1

ps - I checked and thre eis a lready a bug reported.

Also another system did not have the issue.

/usr/local/share/man/man1 had other files besides csf.1 .

for the system witht the error, csf.1 is the only file in /usr/local/share/man/man1 .

so it looks like the issue is with mkdir .

We'll have a fix for this in the next release.For now the following should fix it:

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /usr/local/man/
chmod 755 /usr/local/man/man1/
chmod 644 /usr/local/man/man1/csf.1

This should now be fixed in csf v6.21:
