Package: gcc Version: 2:2.95.4-14 Severity: normal Tags: security In thinking of ways to lock down my system, I was looking at the compiler permissions, etc. gcc is installed with owner root.root and permissions 755. This allows anyone who is logged in to use it. Is it possible to instead make a group "compiler" and change gcc to owner root.compiler, permissions 750? Or perhaps this can be a debconf option when installing gcc for people who are concerned about this issue?
