I appreciate what you guys are trying to do, but I at the very least, it should be permitted to use a GHCi that is group readable/writable as long as the group name and user name are the same.
Hmm. That's a convention but it doesn't have any particular semantics in unix security. If it really is only you in that group then why does it need to be group writable? Isn't that the simple workaround?
It would be preferable, however, to do away with the restriction altogether.
I'm not sure they can do away with it completely. The problem of course is that some other user could drop a .ghci file and run arbitrary IO actions as you. Duncan
