7 I actually used iirc 2004.[2-3] or something which I still had lying
8 around. That version I did use for both my workstation and laptop. My
9 server was another version (no idea which though, one later I guess
10 2004.4?).

12 Anyway, I tested at work on a test machine running gentoo and it was
13 fine there too, however I was able to change permissions as earlier was
14 suggested, replicating the circumstances.

16 Again, I'll only definitely be sure when I get home this evening if it's
17 the same issue I have. The problem with this security flaw is that you
18 don't *just see* it ... I wonder how many other users have this issue.
19 Was the bug linked always possibly to UID 1000 ?
