Aye, for further edification, Baole, please read include/linux/stat.h, particularly this part: #define S_IRWXUGO (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO) #define S_IALLUGO (S_ISUID|S_ISGID|S_ISVTX|S_IRWXUGO) #define S_IRUGO (S_IRUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH) #define S_IWUGO (S_IWUSR|S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH) #define S_IXUGO (S_IXUSR|S_IXGRP|S_IXOTH) I suspect many of the patches in this set should be using one of the above defines instead, never mind the ridiculousness of firing off such a massive set at once, with every patch having the same (often not correct) title, and the highly questionable benefit of the set to begin with. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
