/etc/resolv.conf has wrong permissions

[Rob MacWilliams <robmacw@cl-sys.com>]

Hi all,

I installed 1.3 on a clean machine this week using the 30 May '97 series of disks.  The install went
smoothly except for two things.  The X Windows 3.3 in unstable has the same problem that has
been discussed in this list, (Lack of tty0), so  I won't go into that.

However, /etc/resolv.conf is installed with or modified to root/root -rw------- permissions.  This
sounds logical until a normal user tries to dial out.  It was weird, my normal account would dial and 
login ok, but all of the net calls would show a "Host name lookup failure".  I could even su to root
and things would work fine.

To make this short, I changed the permissions to root/dip -rw-r----- and things are fine now.  I
would appreciate hearing comments.  I'll try to track down the offending package and file a bug
report, but with my skill level, that may take a while.

Debian is a great system, this is my second.


Thanks


Rob
