Ha, ha! Yes, ME TOO! :-D
Well, then there are two Gentoo installers, ME and http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/ :o)
Although I am convinced that ME TOO is a bit buggy. :-))
With regards to the original post isn't this perhaps controlled from the
umask setting in /etc/profile? I am not currently at my machine to
check what's what, but I ran up to a permissions problem while trying to
emerge sox (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83331). Still not
sure why the permissions of the particular directory were not as they
should have been on an old installation of mine, while everything went
fine on a newer box.
umask is set to 022, that seems to be perfectly correct. I don't know where did those permissions came from, but I'm quite sure I didn't set them.
Best regards
Jose
