For years I am wondering about all the logmessages e.g. during package updates. On a clean Opensuse 13.2 64bit machine, which has never had anything before, in fact clean hard disks, the todays or recent cron update shows the following: Additional rpm output: setting /usr/bin/crontab to root:trusted 4755. (wrong permissions 4750) Updating /etc/sysconfig/cron... How is this linux or related unix world actually considered to be stable or paradigms and somet truth cast in stone, if seemingly every day essentials and utmost basic stuff changes. Have the package maintainers made errors in the past, or some unix gods now discovered that those file permissions ought to be 4755 instead of 4750? Has some rocket science of unix land discovered something new that these file permissions had to change? I try to understand these things but something is really beyond my level. Either unix land is still at its very infancy and imature or on the other hand package maintainers or developers are very careless to set wrong filepermissions (and many other things) all the time, that consecutive newly released and applied patches then fix. Seriously. Please explain. I would like to understand the minds and the workings of unix and linux. Maybe windows land isnt that messed up and braindamaged and evil after all. Maybe quality is pretty close to each other and same same but different. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
