#8248: GHCi should not fail to honour ghci.conf or .ghci if group writable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: afcowie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHC | Difficulty: Unknown rejects valid program | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * cc: hvr (added) Comment: Previous discussion: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/1690 https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2010-December/087078.html I'm not sure what to do. You mention "when a new user is created there is also simultaneously a group created with the same name". Isn't it possible for other users to also be a member of that group (and even that the user owner isn't: user andrew doesn't need to be a member of group andrew)? Note: file permissions of `~/.pythonrc.py` are not checked at all. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8248#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
