I notice that the installation of Asterisk 1.8.8 thru 1.8.10 (probably earlier versions too) remove the group write permissions from /etc/asterisk/. which is different than 1.4. And 1.6. Is this expected behavior? If so, what's the rationale? If not, I'll submit a bug report if someone hasn't beaten me to it. -K -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know if I would call it a bug since the switch to install was intentional, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily expected either. I don't really have a strong opinion either way though. If anything, I might be inclined to argue that 750 (or 770) would be more appropriate.
