So why not just let the default mode for files and directories that gnus by default creates in $HOME, be 0600. If you can infer a better mode from ~/.newsrc or whatever, fine. But while people can and do complain about lack of privacy, I don't really expect anyone to complain because their dribble file isn't public. Regards, Hallvard
