For this reason, you're probably better off adding a chmod to > your list of things to do after a ``make world''. It would be a patch to /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist, no? Which isn't modified by cvsup or make world. As long as you merge the changes to /etc correctly, this change should propagate quite easily. Depending on how you merge the changes to /etc, of course. The change itself, by the way, is to add a "mode=" statement to the "root" line in that file. Be well.
