Some ports seem to install files with correct permissions, while others install files with the default umask. Worse, one port even changed the perms on /usr/local/lib to 770, which made my system unusable until I booted into single and fixed it. Should the ports system check for this and correct the umask before installing files with bad permissions? Thanks, Marcus
