I have a very important alert for those who have done the kernel upgrade as
noted in MDKSA-2003:066-1:

http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:066-1

It has been noticed that the regular kernel (kernel-2.4.21.0.24mdk) has a
problem where it is ignoring umask settings and instead is creating files
with mode 0666 (world writeable). The secure and enterprise kernels do not
exhibit this behaviour, however.

If at all possible, please back down to 0.18mdk or switch to the secure
kernel for the time being. We hope to have this issue resolved ASAP.

Thank you.
