It's not a big deal, but if you do it that way, there will be a brief instant when the permissions may be more open than 600, during which someone else could maybe steal the contents. On Fedora, the default will be 664, which is world-readable. Your home directory may also be readable by others, so they could theeeeretically try to steal your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
