Re: Wrong permissions of /etc/rmtab?
Hi Joost, thanks for your reply, but I think you missed and 'r' :-). The file I am refering to is '/etc/rmtab' not '/etc/mtab'. And it's not a relic from an ancient installation neither, an other of our machines that I converted to Debian-1.2 just a couple of weeks ago shows the same thing.

Re: Wrong permissions of /etc/rmtab?
I just tried to export a file system from a machine which does normally export nothing so no '/etc/rmtab' existed. Result: again (IMHO) wrong permissions, '/etc/rmtab' was created world writable. So I think I'll file a bug-report... Thanks again!

Wrong permissions of /etc/rmtab?
The permissions of '/etc/rmtab' read -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 58 Feb 18 12:29 rmtab To my mind, this is wrong. They should be somethig like: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58 Feb 18 12:29 rmtab Am I right? Any comments?

Yes, it should definately be -rw-r--r--. Any comments? $ ls -al /etc/mtab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 421 Feb 14 21:49 /etc/mtab That's on two independantly installed computers over here, and I also checked on a ISP near me, who happens to be running Debian. So, could this be something that was left on your system from a really old installation? If so, I guess the base system should check for it and offer to remove the world-writablility. -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I came, I saw, ..., well, it wasn't free so I left again.
