Package: system-tools-backends Version: 1.4.2-1 Severity: normal
The script /usr/share/setup-tool-backends/scripts/time-conf does not properly set the permissions of /etc/localtime when creating it in &time_set_rh62_zone. Instead, it follows the umask of the process. This is easy to reproduce with time-admin from gnome-system-tools: $ ( umask 077 ; time-admin ) Change the timezone in time-admin and notice how /etc/localtime is now owned by root and mode 600, making it useless for the rest of the users on the system. Other files like /etc/ntp.conf might be affected too, but I haven't checked. -jim -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.2 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
