Description Ulrich Drepper 2003-11-11 17:48:53 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031110 Firebird/0.7+

Description of problem:
When generating the /etc/localtime output file timeconfig is
influenced by the umask used.  This is bad if it prevents reading by
group or other.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-date-1.5.25-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.su
2.umask 077
3.run timeconfig
    

Actual Results:  /etc/localtime has more 0600.

Expected Results:  Show have mode 0644.

Created attachment 95916 [details]
Explicitly call chmod()

The obviously correct way it to call chmod() explicitly.  The attached patch is
tested but given my python expperience this doesn't mean much.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2004-01-08 16:47:47 EST

Patch looks fine to me.  Applied and committed.  Should appear in
system-config-date-1.7.1-1.  Thanks for the patch.
