Do it, please. You can argue whatever you want, as long as nobody's really going to investigate the `why' and the fix for this phenomenon, it won't stand the chance of being fixed anytime at all. Unlike what you believe, there has never been a `political' decision that this problem need not to be fixed. It's only that most people probably deem it minor enough to not waste their time into looking after it at all. Almost all Unices have the same behaviour, so as a system administrator, you are well-advised to make all your mointpoints 0755 or 0555 anyway. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
