I am not. If you redirect into a file ($sectempfile), it gets created according to the umask. If you the mv that file, it does overwrite the old one with the new file, including its permissions. > > As a consequence, dip-members cannot establish DSL connections > > without admin intervention. > > Not my problem.

I think you need to pick up a book on Linux permissions and umask and read it. You are wrong. Please don't assume that everyone else on the planet is more stupid than you are. Try it: umask 077 touch foo chmod 644 foo sed -e 's,a,b,' foo > bar mv bar foo what do you think will be foo's permissions now? > That one is valid, downgrading to minor. The entire bug is valid. Please rethink and then change the severity again. I will not respond to this further but will take the issue to debian-devel if you don't rethink this. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
