Hi guys, Currently, on systems using initscripts, /run/lock (aka /var/lock) has permissions 1777. In the next release I want to remove this hard-coded permissions, and let us follow whatever is configured in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf. I suggest we follow the upstream suggestion, whose justification has been outlined on the systemd mailing list [0]. The local admin can easily overwrite this if they want by coping /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf to /etc/tmpfiles.d/ and edit it there. This might mean that some pieces of software should be updated to either use their own subdir such as /run/lock/<pkgname>, or be put in the "lock" group and use /run/lock/lockdev. Any objections? Cheers, Tom [0]: <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-March/001823.html>.
