Hi,
I consider the patch below to be a bug fix (or better said usability
fix). As the changelog says, the proper fix would be to allow
permissions setting in the per configuration section (I have half baked
patch already but I need to clean it up). I still think that this should
be pushed to the stable releases where bigger - permission in config -
would be a problem.

Subject: [PATCH] cgconfigparser: Change permissions if tasks or admin gid is
different from uid
There is no possibility to set permissions for files and directories in
the configuration file so cgconfigparser doesn't care about file
permissions at all.
This is a bit unfortunate because if user sets gid for either tasks or
admin files he expects that a group member will be allowed to modify
those files. This is especially true for tasks file because gid setting
basically says who can attach to that group.
We used to set file permissions but this has been changed by fa3d180b
which removed permissions setting from control_group_create
code path.
The patch checks whether uid differs from gid either for task or admin
and automatically changes the file and directory permissions to be user
and group read&write (and executable for directories).
The proper fix for this would be to enable file and directory permissions
setting in configuration file but let's do it later.
