chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group.

* coreutils.texi: Change GNU to @acronym{GNU} in a few places.
|
||||
Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently.
|
||||
Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit
|
||||
more consistently.
|
||||
(install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid
|
||||
or gid changing. The default mode is now 0755, not 755.
|
||||
(mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since
|
||||
I couldn't easily follow the old one. It's now 3 lines not 8.
|
||||
For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note
|
||||
that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits.
|
||||
(chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits.
|
||||
* perm.texi (Mode Structure): Modernize the explanation of the
|
||||
setuid and setgid bits on directories.
|
||||
(Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g
|
||||
for s. Cross reference to new node.
|
||||
(Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't
|
||||
true any more. Mention new node.
|
||||
4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx.
|
||||
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node.

* coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkers
