Cem is still having troubles with spacewalk-setup, aparently his /etc
permissions are getting changed. See email below.

I can find nothing in spacewalk-setup that could be doing this, anybody
know how /etc perms could be getting changed?

Hi Devan,
Here's the logs to see how /etc is chmodded

[root at vm905 ~]# ll / | grep etc
drwxr-xr-x 101 root root 12288 Nov 30 04:30 etc
[root at vm905 ~]# spacewalk-setup --disconnected

There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: 1

[root at vm905 ~]# ll / | grep etc
drwxr-xr-- 101 root root 12288 Dec  2 08:07 etc
[root at vm905 ~]#   

Before setup it is 755 and after it becomes 754.
Kind regards,
Cem.
