Hi,

This behavior isn't present on a stock Slackware 7.0 install. The only
machine around here running Slack is my router; I don't have a Slackware 7.1
box to test it on. So it's quite possible this is a Slackware 7.1 issue.

Note that I really didn't do any file permission hardening on it (none that
I can remember). I am just too busy these days.
