Hi. The following bug (#25847) is currently assigned to base-files:
> The mountpoints /cdrom and /floppy are set to g+wxs. However, I think that > the g+w flag is of no use here, as when a fstab entry with 'user' option > enabled is mounted, the access flags are changed and the mount point is > owned by respective user since then anyway. So the g+w just allows users in > the cdrom and floppy groups to store files on your root partition (when > /cdrom resp. /floppy is not mounted), which I don't consider useful. > > I doubt that the g+s is of any use as well, and so is the setting of the > gids of these mountpoints to group cdrom resp. floppy. I think the submitter is right, and will therefore make /floppy and /cdrom to be mode 755 and root.root. However, I'm not a guru on mount options. If there is anybody who find the current permissions useful then please speak now, before I change them. [ I'm Cc:ing the former base-files maintainer ]. Thanks. -- "dbc49d6f9bc68e1a56b1c0f6ba9dcd11" (a truly random sig)
