It sounds to me that a system wide umask is causing problems. That would also cause problems with 500. I remember having this problem with cfengine and rpm a long time ago.. it would set its umask to 077 and everything coming out would be wrong permissions causing all kinds of odd behavior. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
