Description Christian Boltz 2024-05-21 22:22:34 UTC
My brand-new permctl manpage says (re-formatted for readability)

    EXAMPLES
           permctl --set /usr/share/permissions/permissions 
                         /usr/share/permissions/permissions.secure

       Parses the files /usr/share/permissions/permissions and
                        /usr/share/permissions/permissions and sets ...

The "Parses the files ..." line mentions the same filename twice. The second filename should be the *.secure file.


While on it:

           permctl --system /bin/ping

       Run in system mode and only correct permissions of /bin/ping.

You might want to UsrMerge that example to /usr/bin/ping ;-)

Thanks for carefully reading the man page :-). It's good to learn that
actually somebody is looking at it.

We will adjust accordingly.

Issue should be fixed in Tumbleweed by now. Closing.
