First, to clarify, this question is about things that are NOT changed by this proposal: the owner permissions, and defaulting the dirperms from the fileperms (with x bits added). The only thing that changes is the default fileperms, which before was taken from the mounted-on directory (typically 755) and after this change the default would be the fixed value 700. Hope that helps. Gordon
