 I noticed that some but not all of the new packages
 that get uploaded to the Incoming directory don't have
 read permissions. Is there a reason for this? Are they
 uploaded that way? I like to install the latest and
 greatest as quick as possible. I know, that could be asking
 for trouble but that's me. I am particularily interested
 in the dmalloc package that just came out but couldn't
 get it for the past couple of days. If there is a reason
 why it is like that then no problem. I was jsut curious
 why only part of the packages were uploaded that way.

The packages that come via my system are uploaded using rcp rather
than anon-ftp, and so have more standard default permissions.
