Currently mkdir, mknod, and mkfifo support a -m option to set the mode. Install has options to also set the owner and group. I think that all programs which set the uid and gid of a file should also be able to set the SE Linux context. It also seems reasonable that a program which can create a file with particular permissions should also be permitted to create it with a particular context. > I'm still not entirely convinced that mkdir, mknod, mkfifo, and install > need the option, and would welcome opinions one way or the other.

Oh well, if you merge most of the changes then that's still less work for us in maintaining patches. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://etbe.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
