Hey, Ian. It's good to know that the issue is identified, and there's a way around it. I wouldn't say that it's unreasonable to set the permissions explicitly, but I think it's more reasonable that cereal be able to properly deal with strict umask settings. A situation one could imagine is that cereal is installed on a console server and configured for many different users to access their machines. In this case, you might want very strict umask settings so that the users don't have access to the configurations about the sessions for which they do not have access. In this case, 'list' would have to show some question marks for the info it can't access, but it should handle it gracefully. We'll try to come up with something soon. Unfortunately it won't be in lenny, since lenny is well passed freeze. We can probably provide a backport, though. > Thanks (and thanks for the package too, it beats 'cu'!) Great! That's great to hear. I hope it's useful for you. And thanks again for the bug report. jamie.
