Just to set the record straight. I am not saying to use 'install -d' when "custom" perms are required. I'm saying to use it *any time* you want perms to be what you think they should be. In most cases this is 755 (noted that it is especially useful for times you want 750 or 700), using mkdir you cannot take for granted you will get 755, because the user's umask may be set to something other than 022. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 19:42:00 up 116 days, 19:15, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.12, 0.27 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
