Hello, I am using potato, from 6 month now, and well, I like it very much, but something is chocking me very much:
some log files, some configuration files, and some "other things I don't expected" are world readable. So, I know, I could change it by hand. But it seems a generic behaviour of Debian, due to the default umask. Do you know if it is possible to change the defauld debian umask ? What would be then the effect over the installed packages ? Is it possible to set this default "paranoid" umask at instalation stage of Debian ? But then, would a lot of things be broken ? In what measure Debian packages rely on the default umask ?? I have been searching about this on the lists, google, etc..., and don't find any mention. So now in fact I am asking myself is my conception about umask security is good. Some related questions: By default, /root is world readable ? (I think I fixed this, but not sure) What umask "sees" apache or apache-ssl ? (I had to change some permissions of the logs...) In fact, I think that what is happening is normal: with the current default umask, you always have some "suprises"... Thank you !! :-) -- Saludos de Julián EA4ACL -.- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
