... from MS-DOS) to a UNIX ... Setting everything 777
sad, but very believable.
the opposite sort of silly things also happens ...
eg mysql (for win32) requring it's my.ini to be in either c:\ (yes, root) or %windir% how brain dead is that ? and the php docs (for win32) says to stick all the .dlls in your system folder, and php.ini in %windir% !
what I'm getting at here, is developers who don't know how the OS is best used, make a mess when they release their apps, and stick crap in the wrong locations.
why do I rant on this point? because mess like this is a good way to confuse people and confusion leads to insecurities.
