I don't have time right now, but it would be an interesting experiment: # umask 077 # chroot (into lfs partition) # umask Result 077 or 022? If a file is copied and the umask is retained, the permissions will be wrong. Of course an install -m... and a cp -a will retain the dev's permissions. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
