Subject: CVS commit: basesrc/usr.sbin/mtree

From: "Perry E. Metzger" <perry%netbsd.org@localhost>

Module Name:    basesrc
Committed By:   perry
Date:           Sat Sep 22 03:56:30 UTC 2001

Modified Files:
        basesrc/usr.sbin/mtree: compare.c mtree.8 mtree.c

Log Message:
Add a -l flag which does "loose" permissions checks, i.e. a mode 444
matches a check for mode 644 (though obviously not the reverse). This
can be used by the nightly security run, making the output1 more useful
by having it contain fewer spurious permissions violations.

Note that I did not make -l work if you have a sgid/suid/sticky bit
set. I don't know how you could cause security trouble with more
stringent settings and a suid file, but I don't want to find out the
hard way.
