There's a "perm option" > for SUID, GUID, and sticky bits. What else is naughty? I think that might actually be a joke. Failing that, it means 'S' and 'T'.

I still think the BUGS section should be removed. Or I can make a new patch with: There is no "perm" option which sets the sticky bit and also unsets the execute/search bit, and vice-versa, depending upon the "op" value. The same applies to each of the setuid and setgid bits. There once was a man from Nantucket... I sure don't see that as a BUG; just a (good) design decision. On 31 Jul 2005, at 15:30, Gary W.

(You have two days to say so). Ceri -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -- Einstein (attrib.) Ciao, let's do it ;) -- Best Regards, Daniel Gerzo Sounds like a well placed reference to Monty Python's naughty bits sketch to me. It survived there for 11 years - from the initial revision. -- Pav Lucistnik <pav@oook.cz> <pav@FreeBSD.org> Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their fuckin skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. -- Bill Hicks On 2 Jan 2006, at 15:40, Pav Lucistnik wrote: > Sounds like a well placed reference to Monty Python's naughty bits > sketch to me.
