Crazy permissions problem after reinstall..
I wiped and reloaded my slackware install today... and I'm finding that I can't execute much as a normal user.
Here's the process of installation:
First, I rearranged (as in completely redid) my partition table. This should have no effect, because every linux partition was reformatted.
Then, I went through the install (non-newbie, exact same selections I always make for each install)
Installed the 2.6.7 kernel
I then, as root, copied my /home backups from my USB backup drive over to the current /home.
Added user "will" (my main user), and chowned everything in /home/will to the new user, just like I've always done on a reload. Added a new group, logreaders, chgrp'd /var/log to "logreaders", added will to the group.
Started up X (badwm), and started trying to do things. xmkmf -a for building root-tail, but the first time I tried it gave me permission errors. Tried various other things, like starting firefox, but no go. I deleted the user and re-added, and then magically I was able to do xmkmf -a. Still no FF though.
I checked permissions for a few things, and everything SEEMS to be right.. I dunno though.
