edit-pr changes the permission of the index file?

[Ole Streicher]

Hi!

I just installed Gnats-3.113 on my linux machine (Suse 6.4), edited the
configuration files and started with one new category as a test.

The problem is now that after query-pr fails always after I used
edit-pr. I could track thius down and found out that edit-pr changes the
permissions of the index file to 600 (owner is gnats), and query-pr is
the unable to open this file.

What is wrong with my setup?

The gnats binaries have the following permissions:

drwxr-xr-x  89 root     root        12288 Oct  6 14:30 ..
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         4049 Apr 28  2000 at-pr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         3124 Apr 28  2000 check-db
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         4795 Apr 28  2000 delete-pr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        88000 Apr 28  2000 file-pr
-r-sr-xr-x   1 gnats    root        53400 Apr 28  2000 gen-index
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         9985 Apr 28  2000 gnats-edit-pr
-r-xr-xr-x   1 gnats    root       112372 Apr 28  2000 gnatsd
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         3277 Apr 28  2000 mail-query
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         2369 Apr 28  2000 mkcat
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         5013 Apr 28  2000 mkdist
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        56368 Apr 28  2000 npr-addr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        59312 Apr 28  2000 npr-edit
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        50872 Apr 28  2000 pr-addr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        80164 Apr 28  2000 pr-age
-r-sr-xr-x   1 gnats    root        87200 Apr 28  2000 pr-edit
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        56560 Apr 28  2000 pr-mail
-r-sr-xr-x   1 gnats    root        54712 Apr 28  2000 queue-pr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         2380 Apr 28  2000 rmcat

all user programs (edit-pr, query-pr) have 755.
my own umask is 022. I couldn't find any config entry regarding this.

BTW, I feel a bit unlucky to post this to a "Bug" mailing list. Is there
anywhere something like "gnats-user"?
