I've confirmed that it all but one case, the group and other permissions on the files are identical, so there is no security concern even if gid 999 managed to come into use. However, in the process of reviewing these, I noticed the following exception:
88658 2196 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root 999 2244272 Oct 29 10:15 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic and have filed bug 290798 about that. -- Ubuntu 8.10rc Desktop amd64 - lots of files with gid 999 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288479 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
