Now correct me if I'm wrong... but a package shouldn't go messing with permissions of files that are so important without the user saying "I want this". True? This in addition to the fact that xadmin doesn't create /etc/shadow and therefore doesn't own it. (Note that this especially includes any attempt to directly modify the files, say in order to add or delete an account. newusers, adduser or useradd should be used for this purpose.)
I can, however, see in a package that is positioned to make admin life easier, a button that resets all such permissions to the correct values, but this should not happen directly. Packages such as base-passwd should provide a panic button to reset things it owns to the right thing. -Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
