Just poking around, I get the impression that it may have happened near the first round of updates after I did the initial install of f14 alpha (from dvd): [root@zooty ~]# ls -lc --full-time /spare/etc/modprobe.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-08-25 19:44:57.000000000 -0400 /spare/etc/modprobe.conf [root@zooty ~]# ls -lt --full-time /spare/etc/modprobe.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-08-25 19:44:57.000000000 -0400 /spare/etc/modprobe.conf [root@zooty ~]# ls -lt --full-time /spare/root/install.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 103892 2010-08-25 18:42:33.000000000 -0400 /spare/root/install.log Interesting that on my system at least, the file isn't world writable. I hadn't noticed that before. Maybe there are multiple ways it can get created, or maybe some process is inheriting a umask that might be different? (The /spare partition is where I have f14 installed). In the yum.log I see the time on modprobe.conf occurs in a gap in the yum updates: Aug 25 19:37:56 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-aiptek-1.3.1-1.fc14.x86_64 Aug 25 20:02:56 Updated: libgcc-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
