Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the explanation. For the most part I understand your point of view. As a matter of fact I am not even opposed to systemd as such [1], but over the years I have had my share of problems that in the end proved to be caused by some transition to systemd. This has made me a

If people on this mailing list are so concerned about other people's umasks, then I would suggest a great starting point would be to start by making it POSSIBLE for other people to set their umasks the way they want. If you use a Desktop Environment, go to your DE's support mailing list, and ask t

It doesn't work. mail.example.com record doesn't exist to start with. Even if I add: 1.2.3.4 example.com 5.6.7.8 mail.example.com to /etc/hosts I get: 0A032940922 657 Mon Jul 15 14:40:01 user1@mymachine (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=example.com type=MX: Ho
