Hi Peter,

While looking at the systemd units, I noticed an unusual (to me) mode
used by install when creating the directory under /var/run:

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -Z -m 02755 -o ... -d /var/run/...

When looking in chmod(1) and install(1), I only saw the letters, 3 and 4
digits mode being documented. I don't know if the leading 0 is meant to
specify octal mode (as the chmod(2) system call argument).

It doesn't cause any actual problem as the resulting dir has the
intended permissions (2755) but it just caught my attention and might be
noticed by others so I though I'd mention it.

Regards,
Simon

P.S: it is entirely possible that I'll learn that this "unusual to me"
thing is in fact perfectly correct and valid. If that's the case, I
apologize for the noise ;)
