Hi folks, I'm about to add a flag to mkfifo that allows you to specify creation mode. NetBSD does this already. However, there's a difference in the way our mkfifo and NetBSd's mkfifo create files. We create with permissions 0777 modified by umask. NetBSD creates with permissions 0666 modified by umask. I can't see why we use 0777. Would bad things happened if I changed this to 0666 while I'm in there? Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
