Bug#682608: /etc/network/interfaces permissions

[chuck adams <chuck.adams.k7qo@gmail.com>]

Here is a working system, i.e. WiFi interface working,
and /etc/network/interfaces permissions

adams@debian:~$ ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 293 Jun 13 22:26 /etc/network/interfaces

and contents of file are:

--------------------------------------------------cut here
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
--------------------------------------------------cut here

The issue is with the contents of the file as shown in previous
email with the ssid and password in the file.  I believe the
644 or even the 600 is just fine.  It is that the current
d-i or netinst is placing the wrong info into the interfaces
file.

By any chance, is the netinst program written in C?  I can
help if it is.  I just need pointers to the code and let
me work on it, if you need the help.  I have taught every
course there is in CS when I was a tenured prof at the
University of North Texas and I was lead instructor and
course developer at sgi at one time.  

Now spending my time writing books and the current one is
on debian.

P.S.  I am about to redo the inst using eth0 and see that
the daily-build netinst #3 for today gives the same results
as before.  I don't mind doing all the experiments needed
to resolve this issue.  I am retired... :-)

thanks
