We would want to change the owner write permission bit for all executables. In F-12 we took care of the major directories, this is phase 2 of the same project where we take a bigger step. Phase 1 was proving that the missing write permission on directories won't mess up system updates. Phase 2 would do the same to files. > All executables on the system?

You can change them all on your system right now if you want. -Steve -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
