this was supposed to be fixed by the mod_php-4.3.1-r1 ebuild (see bug #15976), unfortunately the fix had been wrongly applied and so the bug is still plaguing the mod_php ebuilds. problem and solution are described here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15976#c2 bye, Alessandro Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 10946 [details] List of world writable files created by mod_php install With mod_php 4.3.1, the list was a staggaring 132 files (including /usr/bin/pear) set to world-writable, but with 4.3.1-r1 the list has shortened to a mere 26, which is unfortunately still 26 too many.
This was a umask problem fixed by php.net guys in their cvs tree. fixed by the added patch pear_config.diff
