I'm using fileutils 5.2.1. Issuing
mkdir -m 755 -p /foo/bar
When neither foo nor bar exist, mkdir puts filemode of bar to be 755 but
foo will be 700. The man page says of -m:
-m mode, --mode=mode
Set the mode of created directories to mode, which may be sym-
bolic as in chmod(1) and then uses the default mode as the point
of departure.
which means that all created directories should have mode 755, but only
the leaf directory will have that mode.
Please fix.
