I believe you misunderstood what I said.  I just said I always set the
permissions scheme in yast to secure, which I would assume sets the
permissions on the directories under /usr/src/packages.  If you are
saying the easy permissions scheme is not less secure than secure, then
I obviously do not understand why there is such a thing.  If the secure
permissions only affect building rpms, then I would say they are grossly
mis-labeled.
