Warning: fvwm-crystal: directory permissions differ on /etc/sudoers.d/filesystem: 750 package: 755

I installed fvwm-crytal and got that message, how should I deal with that one?

Code:

Warning: fvwm-crystal: directory permissions differ on /etc/sudoers.d/filesystem: 750  package: 755

https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/c...pacman_update/ and a few hundred other results when googling the error.

I understand this as follows: The fvwm-crystal installation contains a file /etc/sudoers.d/filesystem with default permissions 755. The /etc/sudoers.d/filesystem on your computer is set to 750. Pacman doesn't change permissions, but should have overwritten the file.

My recommendations: Manually set the permissions to 755 or do nothing. You may also want to check if the file was overwritten, and if you want it to be overwritten.

by default there's no file "/etc/sudoers.d/filesystem" on an archlinux system (can't speak for manjaro though).
the warning says the permissions of the containing directory differ.
IMO, 755 is too lax for anything sudo related.
maybe fvwm-crystal maintainer(s) should be notified.

I promise, I will learn proper reading.

it still makes to sense to me, as I've had Manjaro and fvwm and fvwm-crystal before , like just reinstalled this entire system and I did nothing different, now I am getting this error , and I have no idea what it means. I know I'll let the ones that know more about this system give me some help on it. So instead of rummaging around I went to the source of the distro that is all of a sudden giving me this error, when it did not, using the same version of both manjaro and fvwm-crystal.

(I am in slack - curr right now and firefox is giving me tab crashes, so one thing at a time)

Code:

userx@manjaroieo:~
$ sudo ls /etc/sudoers.d/
10-installer  fvwm-crystal

$ sudo cat  /etc/sudoers.d/10-installer
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

$ sudo mv  /etc/sudoers.d/10-installer ~/

------------------

sudo cat  /etc/sudoers.d/fvwm-crystal

%fvwm-crystal ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

I removed 10-installer file within sudoers.d , to me it is redundant to begin with. Normally I just commented out the last line pointing to that dir, and have had no ill-responce to it. let me see what thus does.

sudoers file

Code:

## Same thing without a password
 %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Uncomment to allow any user to run sudo if they know the password
## of the user they are running the command as (root by default).
# Defaults targetpw  # Ask for the password of the target user
# ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL  # WARNING: only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'

## Read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.d
## (the '#' here does not indicate a comment)
####includedir /etc/sudoers.d

I just started commenting that out, instead of going in and removing it, and was not experiencing any ill-effects until this install. I didn't put 2 and 2 together, maybe this is what is the cause of it.

as of now fvwm-crystal is no longer giving me a full menu when the config menu listings has it within it, but is not showing me everything. in this distro - using fvwm-crystal. issues, issues, issues...

the

Looks like I need to change hats, to fix this stupid WM , and its menu hat.

it is NOT an error - it is a warning.
