Actually, thinking about it, since we have strict rules about default permissions and ownership, packages could just contain a list of all the files with non-standard permissions/ownership. This would be quite efficient and would make it easy to write tools that check your system to see if you've accidentally clobbered something. Note that I'm not necessarily claiming that this is a great idea, and it's certainly not anything that would work for security purposes, but it might be useful for other things. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30
