RE: [Ltib] Root owned files in the merge directories...

[Stephens, Peter A.]

Hey Stuart.  I am using a u-boot ramdisk image, but I don't want to keep
generating/changing the SSH keys for OpenSSH so I figured I would create
the "merge" area and put some pre-created ones in there.  It seems to
see them and try to copy them into the image, but there are permission
problems.  On the target they need to be (chown) root/root and (chmod)
"rw r  r  ".

Hi Peter,

You can't for the NFS area.  You should make this as your normal user.
When you finally build a RAMDISK or JFFS2 image, it'll get squashed to
be owned by root.

If this is not what you need, you'll need to edit the spec file for ssh.
What are you trying to do?

Regards, Stuart
