| Code: | $ groups
wheel audio cdrom video games cdrw usb users plugdev
$ dosbox
-bash: dosbox: command not found

PaulBredbury suggested that I reinstall my system, but of course that is not a feasible alternative. There *has* to be a way to fix it. Reemerging the games does not help either.

I even rebooted after it. Nope.
| Code: | $ cd /usr/games/bin/
-bash: cd: /usr/games/bin/: Permission denied |

Oh, I think I found it! 
| Code: | server games # ls -l
total 4
drwx--x--- 2 root root 4096 2007-03-05 07:40 bin
server games # chgrp games bin
server games #exit
user@server ~ $ /usr/games/bin/dosbox
CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file dosbox.conf
ALSA:Can't subscribe to MIDI port (65:0)
MIDI:Opened device:none

Yaaaay!!!

/usr/portage/eclass/games.eclass contains chown, which is run by prepgamesdirs, which is in every games ebuild.
So, how did you break your system? Did you redefine GAMES_BINDIR in /etc/make.conf? |

I wiped the HD so I could give Gentoo maximum space and OS X minimum space. But I made my Gentoo backup with one of those user scripts from Gentoo-wiki which don't save all permissions... Now I know they're crap. Well, I fixed as much as I could, so I wouldn't need to start from scratch. I could not start from scratch and keep working through the week, this is my only computer. Not sure why games.eclass did not fix the directory group, but I can't imagine anything besides my half-baked reinstall. My system directory structure is standard through and through, I emerge --sync and emerge -u world almost daily, and I don't sleep until I leave my system tidy.

That's not a full update - use:
Sounds like Portage doesn't change the ownership of already-existing directories, in src_install() |

Yep. I did several emerge -e world after recovering from my buggy system backup. I fixed as many permissions as I could find, manually. This one was left behind (games are not vital for working, duh).
