It can be used non-setgid if the sysadmin is paranoid, yes (then the cache functions will be non-operative). JP Sugarbroad: > Packages should almost never call dpkg_statoverride themselves. Earlier, that meant that the setuid/setgid bits got cleared automatically by some daemon, is that not true anymore? Also, since the setgid/setuid bit isn't in the actual package in my case (it can't be - the group isn't created until after the package is decompressed), I *need* to set the permissions on the file each time. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html
