To fix this -- and this is for public mirror users only -- run this command:
- Code: Select all
su -c 'chmod 644 /etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog*'
(it will ask for your root password)
Then you should be able to run a yum search as regular user.
For example, here's what happens on a default YDL 6.1 install without entering anything during the ydl.net config portion of the install:
Checking the initial permissions -- readable by root only:
- Code: Select all
[billb@localhost ~]$ ls -la /etc/yum.repos.d
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 20 10:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 94 root root 12288 Jan 12 12:22 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 208 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-base.repo
-rw------- 1 root root 214 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-extras.repo
-rw------- 1 root root 217 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-updates.repo
Trying to run yum search as regular user:
- Code: Select all
[billb@localhost ~]$ yum search gedit
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Config Error: Error accessing file for config file://///etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-extras.repo
Fixing permissions:
- Code: Select all
[billb@localhost ~]$ su -c 'chmod 644 /etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog*'
Password:
Checking permissions again:
- Code: Select all
[billb@localhost ~]$ ls -la /etc/yum.repos.d
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 20 10:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 94 root root 12288 Jan 12 12:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-base.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 214 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-extras.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 217 Jan 12 12:07 yellowdog-updates.repo
And running a yum search as regular user again:
- Code: Select all
[billb@localhost ~]$ yum search gedit
