Ha, ha! Yes, ME TOO! :-D Although I am convinced that ME TOO is a bit buggy. :-)) With regards to the original post isn't this perhaps controlled from the umask setting in /etc/profile? I am not currently at my machine to check what's what, but I ran up to a permissions problem while trying to emerge sox (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83331). Still not sure why the permissions of the particular directory were not as they should have been on an old installation of mine, while everything went fine on a newer box. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
