This will not work. Usually? Users will put their custom rules where it's needed to make them work, I do not think this is a great argument. > > > overriding the permissions from later system specified rules? > > By documenting that system rules files are installed only in specific > > parts of the name space, this is something which is needed for every > > scheme. > What scheme?

For the debian package I'm documenting a policy like "all default permissions are set before 030_*" and "RUN rules must be set from z40_* onward" (the actual values will change). If the order of rules is important, then this needs to be documented to allow users and package maintainers to choose the right file names. --=20 ciao, Marco --32u276st3Jlj2kUU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCkIQsFGfw2OHuP7ERAqbzAJ0WkPp8innGWCxg1ZE7sVkQv9ZraACZAbB/ PuG4kB5PYGgxdXMkse3eoCY= =gmnp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --32u276st3Jlj2kUU-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
