Debian Bookworm and newer Linux distributions often have stricter security policies, especially around symlinks, to prevent privilege escalation attacks.
Perhaps this is more an issue with the default permissions applied to directories under '/home' ?fs.protected_symlinks was already enabled by default in bullseye (and also in buster).
That did change under Bookworm to what it had been previously.
I simply changed permissions of those home directories and that worked for me, appears to have set things back to how they were pre-Bookworm, at least as far as I needed them to be -
Code:
sudo chmod og+rx /home/pisudo chmod og+rx /home/guestCode:
pi@Pi4B:/home $ ls -ltotal 8drwxr-xr-x 16 guest guest 4096 Nov 10 2023 guestdrwxr-xr-x 64 pi pi 4096 Jan 4 01:01 piStatistics: Posted by hippy — Sat Jan 04, 2025 3:20 pm
