Wrong permissions on /tmp

Reported by Sanne Grinovero | May 11th, 2009 @ 05:13 AM | in 1.0.0.Beta6

/tmp is only writable by root, this is not the default on fedora and causing sone problems: MySQL installation fails with weird error messages.

Fixed with:

chmod 777 /tmp chmod +t /tmp

    it's probably a problem of the ami-tools included, as I had fixed it, stored the machine as new AMI and then after restoring the machine the directory was back to wrong permissions. As a woraround I do this in my user script:

    fixing formatting:

    
    chmod 777 /tmp
    chmod +t /tmp
    

    IMHO this should be included in the AMI to be run at startup, or use a fixed ami-tools (if the problem is there).

    I don't have such problems, root is owner of this directory, but it's chmoded 777 by default. I created a file in /tmp directory as oddthesis user (ami-d32ec8ba, meta-appliance, i386):

    oddthesis@domU-12-31-39-04-50-B4 ~]$ ls -all /tmp/
    total 28
    drwxrwxrwt  4 root      root      4096 2009-06-20 06:30 .

    This was verified on an older version (report date is wrong as you can see from the date of my first comment);
    it was probably beta4, I'll have to verify this again.
