Guys - this in this morning on
"MandrakeSoft issued an urgent message for all 9.1 users to back out of the 24mdk kernel update and downgrade to 18mdk or 13mdk. A problem exists in all kernels (except kernel-secure) where newly created files are created mode 0666 (world writeable) on any filesystem other than XFS, including remote NFS mounts. A corrected kernel is to be released soon"

We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true. [Robert Wilensky, 1997]
