pkg_add permissions for Expect
Hello OpenBSDers!
I must be doing something very foolish or overseeing something very
simple.
I'm trying to install (pkg_add, that is) expect-5.32.1 from the 2.8/m68k
package off the ftp.openbsd.org server. Installation runs smoothly when I
su to root. Obviously it doesn't work out when I'm just logged in as Joe
Random Luser (the tcl-package doesn't install, cancelling out the whole
thing).
Now the problem with my "installed-as-root" package is that it runs
perfectly when su'ed to root, but gives me an error
"/usr/local/bin/expect: Permission denied" when trying to run it as a
normal user.
Permissions on /usr/local/bin/expect are -r-x------ root wheel (which
translates to chmod 500). So, of course I changed it to chmod 555 to make
it run for me too. But then it complains for various libraries and parts
one after the other.
Now: How do I install this baby so I can use it in luser-mode? Or is
expect meant to be run just as root? Or am I supposed to find every
library and bit and chmod it?
Thankfull for any clue you might have for me!
Regards,
Sascha

that I think it would matter much.
