The following reply was made to PR ports/2691; it has been noted by GNATS. From: basit syed <syed@manta.nosc.mil> To: Satoshi Asami <asami@cs.berkeley.edu> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports/2691: XF8632 permissions are set incorrectly Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1997 07:44:16 -0800 (PST) thank you for your response. the problem arose because i extracted XF8632 by hand and did not follow instructions carefully. i have repeated the installation and everything works ok. the problem was that i did a plain "su" which sets the umask to 2 and proceeded to untar the XF8632 relevant files. if i had done "su -" the umask is set to 22 and i would not have run into a problem. also the old XF86312 install instructions (RELNOTES?) stated that the umask should be set to 22. the new RELNOTES instructions have changed and umask is not discussed. regards/basit On Thu, 13 Feb 1997, Satoshi Asami wrote: > What is your umask? >
