Re: Re: Permissions on /root/
Personally, I don't beleave /root should be used for any information that is 'dangerous' I personally use it sometimes for temp storage for .debs and such, before I move them to /usr/src.
Therefor I don't really care what the default permissions are for /root.
the files that need to be there (for example .my.cfg) need to have permission 600 or 700.
