RedHat/Fedora does do this. I was quite surprised the first time I realized I was creating group writable files. I personally feel like this is not very useful and turn it off, but I don't see much harm in it being in the book. Anyone with half an ounce of sense about permissions will be able to make their own decision. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
