Hi!

Well, maybe it's my fault, but I wonder why the permissions of mtab and df
are not right set, since 3.0:

-rwxr-sr-x  1 root     operator    6692 Jul 21 17:40 /bin/df*
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel      81 Jan  5 15:44 /etc/mtab

With permissions like that only root and wheel are able to execute df.
(Very bad for news, as rnews needs df.)

The question: Is is my fault and which group is wrong set?

	Frustrated, Gerhard.

(It took me 15 minutes to find my rnews problem... :( )
