Hm. What did it use to have when it was /var/lock/? My squeeze installation got this: % ls -lad /var/lock/. drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 10 sep. 10:49 /var/lock/. % I find no file permission mode instructions in <URL: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.9.html >. But given the use of this directory, I suspect the 1777 mode is correct, and that this is a regression from Squeeze. -- Hapy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
