What gave you that idea? It's certainly not true on a default system. Those directories are rwxrwxrwt
Not on my 9.3. That is the default as long as I can remember. joe@jmorris:~> ls -l /usr/src/packages/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-03-20 01:44 BUILD drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2005-05-16 05:21 RPMS drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-03-20 01:44 SOURCES drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-03-20 01:44 SPECS drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-03-20 01:44 SRPMS joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qf /usr/src/packages/SPECS rpm-4.1.1-208.2 Only root has write privilege.
Nope. That is what you get if you select permissions "secure". The default is, and has always been since they started the permissions thing, "easy", and that gets you rwxrwxrwt
