Diffutils is a dependency of csih and csih is a dependency of openssh, so it should have been installed anyway. A couple of weeks ago we encountered some problems with dependency tracking in setup, though. This problem should eventually be solved in setup, not by band-aiding in the package dependencies. > 2.

The default permissions of /etc/passwd and other files should be right on a default install, in theory. They are created at first installation time. > 3.

I don't understand. Change them and it will run. > 4.
