Thanks, three replies in very short order.
I ran the fix-perms script and that is fine.
I am a little confused about the updates disk. I am using kickstart to
do the installs. How do I incorporate the update floppy in to that
procedure? I boot from the SGI XFS 1.01 install CD and do a "linux ks".
If this is truly a problem with the underlying kernel, will it cause
problems beyond install time? I see that Redhat explicitly sets umask
to 022 in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and calls that in the init scripts.
Is there a danger of other things running as root creating files that
are mode 666? Is there a kernel patch to fix the problem for the running
machines.
