Subject: [Rd] File permissions test during R CMD check
Message-ID: <15503.35051.255583.275317@gargle.gargle.HOWL>

I think that I understand why R CMD check should warn if the permissions on a
file are too restrictive, but I don't understand why it should warn if they are
"too" loose. On UNIX, why is a file with 644 OK, but one with 664 (just adding
group writability) problematic enough to require a warning?

Thanks,

Dave Kane
