Synopsis: installworld chmods /root and /mnt to 755 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: roam State-Changed-When: Sun Sep 8 07:35:56 PDT 2002 State-Changed-Why: This has been discussed many times, both on the mailing lists and in problem reports. It was most recently discussed in PR i386/42053, the audit trail for which is available at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=42053 The general consensus is that 0755 is a sensible set of permissions for root's home directory; if there is anything sensitive in there, it may be protected by stashing it into a subdirectory instead. Moreover, the permissions may indeed be modified, if you so desire, by editing the src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist file. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=42550 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
