I posted a message to the effect that at least /proc/net
is chmoddable a while back. Here's the evidence again.
$ cd /proc/net
$ ls -ld
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Apr 3 19:02 .
$ sudo chmod 777 .
$ ls -ld
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 0 Apr 3 19:02 .
One funny thing I noticed is that the permissions on /proc/net
stay as they are chmodded until your shells cwd no longer includes
/proc/net.
A demonstration.
$ cd rpc
$ ls -ld ../
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 0 Apr 3 19:02 ../
$ cd ../
$ pwd
/proc/net
$ ls -ld
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 0 Apr 3 19:02 .
$ cd ../
$ ls -ld net
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Apr 3 19:04 net
$ ./ver_linux
