Hello,
I am wondering what this error message
WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/usr/local/etc/backup'
is trying to tell me.
This directory is owned by root:myself and has mode 750. So it is
writable only by root and readable only by myself and by root.
AFAICS, it is as safe as it can get. Do I really have to remove
access for _root_? How do I do that?
I can see the necessity of such a warning if the directory is writable
by some arbitrary user. But isn't root somewhat special?
Just wondering...
