Hi all,
The debian 3.1.2 package recently had a bug raised against it concenring the
rrds in
/var/lib/ganglia having permissions of 666, and therefore being corruptable or
truncatable by any user. I've fixed this fro the debian package by the
following patch,
but thought you might want to knw about the issue.

No, that'd be silly.
