I have a system where to the main server (homes, nfs, ntp, queue...) can log-in only root – all the other users use front-end host with NFS-mounted home directories (RW) and all other software directories (read-only).
My problem is, that time to time, if root or normal user with sudo makes some administrative works on front-end some homes of normal users getting sticky bits (drwsr-sr-x). If it happens usually the user can't log-in (as long as permission for his home are not changed to drwxr-xr-x).
The last time I saw it after compiling some new software (normal user configure;make
) and installation from the same directory as root (su
and make install
or direct as normal user sudo make install
).
Can somebody explain me why it happens and what should I do to get rid of this problem?
p.s. I'm using CentOS 5.7
