Not really. > And would zero-ing out the *.dist files do the trick? Yes. I would recommend against doing that, though; it's a great protection against shooting your security in the foot. Just decide what you want the permissions to be, and adjust the mtree(8) specifications (those .dist files) accordingly. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
