* They should! Over the weekend I installed 2.1.5-R and 82 megs of * packages. With my fascist root umask, over half the ports were installed * such that mear mortals could not use them. Quite annoying. * * Could bsd.port.mk set a "umask 022"??? Hey, if you are talking about packages, bsd.port.mk is not going to help! ;) I guess we can add a umask() call to pkg_add, but I'm not sure if Jordan agrees it's a good thing. If you have "umask 027" or some such in your root .cshrc, it means you want to create files with that permission, and it is quite arguable that applications are not supposed to override that. Remember, "root knows what s/he's doing" is the First Principle of Unix. :) Satoshi
