Yes, the file is created. But as far as I undertood the docs, this is the expected behaviour. And reading about the tests of the other list subscribers, looks like there is no system with any file writable by group slocate. Now, the question remains: is it possible to compromisse anything with it ? At first glance, I'm tempted to say "no". Anyone cares to make a definitive statement ?
