The setting up document hints at how to build world so to speak in v6.
However, when I log in as bin (most files are owned by bin) and:
chdir /usr/source
sh run
I get a number of failed items along these lines:
cp a.out /etc/cron
Can't create new file.
cp a.out /etc/init
Can't create new file.
A little digging around points to the problem - some files are owned by
daemon, others by root:
-rwsrwsr-- 1 daemon 3246 Oct 10 12:54 cron
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root 2054 May 13 23:50 init
My question is this, is the system recompiled en-masse using the run
script in /usr/source or not? It certainly appears to be the method, as
it contains a bunch of chdir somedir; time sh run lines including the
/usr/sys/run file... If it's not, what was the method?
I gather I can force it by logging in as root and running those sections
of the run script pertaining to files owned by root, and the same for
daemon, but that seems inefficient and begs the question why didn't they
have run scripts for root and daemon that were separate from the ones
for bin.
Thanks,
Will
