That's not true, please read the code around the creation of this file: chmod 0640 $OPTSFILE chown root:dip $OPTSFILE This follows the policy. Don't try to redefine facts please. > As a consequence, dip-members cannot establish DSL connections > without admin intervention. Not my problem. Your file permissions must have been set so before, maybe by the pppoe package where that file originaly came from. > The problem likely stems from my 077 umask and the use of ACLs.

Ehm, so mv does loose the permissions because your ACLs are fscked up and I should implement a workaround in userspace? > The solution is to use sed inplace; the attached patch does so. The solution is not to change permissions when renaming the file. Fix the environment first. > PS: I also fixed your email address in the manpage while I was at > it. That one is valid, downgrading to minor. Regards, Eduard. -- Everything is illusion.
