I've added these directories to the list of additional items for /etc/permissions.easy + /etc/permissions.secure.
Can't a user opt to install these at a different location by passing some argument to the rpm program?
Sure. mkdir -p usr/src/packages rpm -ihv schnick.spm That works.
Would you also make /etc/passwd world-writable because it makes it easier for users to update their password from another account if they forget their password? Maybe a bit drastic but there are never any good excuses for leaving directories world-writable like that.
If that is suitable, yes. You get what you want in such a system. This
comparison lacks some sort of reality, as you claimed right.
Feel free to change it if you prefer so. Insert my permissions mumble from
the last mail at this place.
Roman.
