It should be immediately backed out. System security now under risk for admins who use symlinks to /tmp or /var/mail f.e. Proper way of fixing will be to cvs add strtofflags file to mtree subdir. Why to fix the bug by breaking in another place? BTW, I even was not asked before my changes are backed out, it is very bad style for commiter that should be avoided. -- Andrey A.
