I _thought_ I was missing something. Makes sense to me...

Perhaps grub-installer should be renamed to Kenny? :-)

Bug#159021: Install progam maked bad /home mode for ssh

[MeDon]

Package: install
Version: woody

After installing Debian Woody 3.0 onto clear machine, /home has 775 
mode. But for ssh method publickey this is wrong by default. I mean 
default setting for ssh 3.4p1-1 from the same distribution. At least 
warn message should be provided ...

Well, there is still the bug that booting from install24-safe doesn't
write out the append="video=ofonly" to yaboot.conf.

I suppose we could do some hack with looking at /proc/cmdline, and
seenig if it contains 'video=ofonly'...

Actually though, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to
by default write out an 'append=' line in the installed bootloader with
the arguments used to boot the installer.  For all architectures.  Can
anyone think of a case where this would break?  We would have to ignore
a few arguments like initrd=, of course.

I believe there was some other problem. The conf file points to /vmlinux
because that is a symlink to whatever kernel has been installed.

It should work even if you change it back to 

device=hd:

image=/vmlinux
partition=11
root=/dev/hda11

(which is how I assume it was before).

If not, please get back to us. Otherwise, this bug can be closed.
Thank you for your report.
