Yes, I will, because as members of the admingroup, those people will be able to read and write files, but some ways of editing create new inodes, which will then be unwantingly owned by the user and no longer root. > I am slightly confused because you requested the feature to add > the 'admingroup' function, included a patch and we fixed the patch > up and included it (although it introduced some errors that we > later had to fix, we fixed those), but now you are suggesting we > through out that enhancement, as well as the original code > altogether? Or am I missing something here? The admingroup enhancement was splendid, thanks for that! Maybe instead of telling you what I want, let me know what the security enhancement is by requiring that config files be owned by root instead of just members of the admingroup?
