Any comments on the mount patch I sent to you?

Attaching it again now. Please apply.

Thanks,
Daniel

From: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>

Some filesystems such as FAT will default to using the umask of the current
process if the user did not specify a umask option.

Currently, mount.c calls umask(022) early on, removing the possibility of the
user-specified umask (at shell level) being used by default.

Removing the umask(022) call solves the problem.

This appears safe to do, because the code which creates files already does this
safely (saves umask, sets umask 022, creates file, restores umask).

Please apply.

sorry, this patch is still part of the big batch of util-linux emails I 
have to go through.

You missed my fixes to cal to fix a possible crash bug
for certain terminal types, and to fix date alignment
issues for certain dates. I've rediffed the attached
patched against 2.13-pre1.

Also schedutils build is breaking on redhat 9.
This really is messy but should be handled.

API changes in same minor version of glibc should just not happen.

Yes sorry, this patch is still part of the big batch of util-linux 
emails I have to go through.

The URL seems to be invalid, but I know what you are talking about, and 
a fix is already on my TODO list to be implemented before the final 2.13
release.
