Interesting, because here I don't have the same behavior:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1420 nov. 1 13:24 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 100 nov. 1 13:24 dev
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 500 nov. 1 13:24 etc
drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 80 nov. 1 13:24 home
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 540 nov. 1 13:24 lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 nov. 1 13:22 lib32 -> lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 nov. 1 13:24 linuxrc -> bin/busybox
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 40 oct. 27 12:37 media
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 40 oct. 27 12:37 mnt
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 40 oct. 27 12:37 opt
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 40 oct. 27 12:37 proc
drwx------ 2 root root 100 oct. 27 12:37 root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 oct. 27 12:37 run -> tmp
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 940 nov. 1 13:24 sbin
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 40 oct. 27 12:37 sys
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 60 nov. 1 13:24 tmp
drwxrwxr-x 6 root root 140 nov. 1 13:24 usr
drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 220 nov. 1 13:24 var
How are the permissions of the directories/files in system/skeleton/ in
your Buildroot sources?
Thanks,
