You do mean "ls -la" right, and not "ls -al"? This is the second
message from you where I noticed this typo. Makes me wonder if it is a
typo or not.

Not, A good programmer will code as to not require global arguments to
be in a particular order, when possible.

It helps me to remember the arguments for what they do.
So I wanted to LiSt All in Long format hense ls -al
not list Long All as your "misspell" would suggest. :)

You could use -Al if you like but I like to see perms on . and ..

Now in the /etc/cron.daily directory, all these files do exist so I
would imagine that one could edit, add, or delete files if one wanted
to.

Yep, during a clean install my admin diary would have
cd /etc/cron.daily
ln -s /site/bin/whatever_1
ln -s /site/bin/whatever_2
to add my cron jobs. Documenting your webmin method would be a pain
and slow down the install since I could not cut/paste webmin mouse
clicks. :-)

I make an effort to not dink with system scripts where possible.
An update could wipeout my changes. The scrip change would also cause
an unnessary security audit entry which I do not want.

I do have a logrotate file in there. Let's see what's in it...

Does it look like something that can change perms to you?

Well there is no chmod 400 /var/log/messages :-)


I assume you are documenting what you are doing in your brand new
admin diary so as to not lose them on the FC5 install. ;-/
