Dear all,
have a good laugh and read the 4.0E announcement:
http://www.unix.digital.com/announcements/index.html
clearly a product of the Compaq PC people if you read the bit with:
[...]
Other features include:
[some serious stuff]
* Default for floppy device increased from 600 to 666
I couldn't help laughing when I read this. Clearly a umask is too hard
to grasp for PC people and it does look really impressive! And what a
brilliant security hole it will be.
I can't wait to sell it to my computer-illiterate boss: "Just
imagine, 66 bits more powerful when accessing the floppy", "Do we need
it?", "Of course, our entire development strategy was focused on such
an improvement!".
Ciao,
Arrigo
