I have dropbox installed as a daemon, installed without X. It is creating world-writable files in my home directory:
$ find ./ -perm -2 -type f -ls

If I get rid of the world-writable attribute, the files turn up again a day or two later.
Is there a fix for this or is it a bug in dropbox? It only started happening recently.
I've got version 2.10.41-r1 installed on amd64, but I had the same problem with 2.10.2. |
