That is as it should be. I quote the GNU Coding Standards:

Thanks Per. I have a habit of using the p flag to tar which resulted in the worldwriteable dir. If I don't use p it uses my umask, which is fine.

I might take it up with the gnu autoconf people. There has to some time when compatibility with ancient programs comes to an end.

Thanks for the program, btw. I haven't used it yet. What I had in mind is to write some sort of user(v)fs to access files on another machine by ssh/scp, but using a ls/cp and shell redirection interface. It would obviously be cheaper in cpu and time to use something like fsh.

Do you know of anything like this?
