I think the permission setting above is a reasonable default. If it was
changed to public access, users would complain the data is available to
anyone without explicitly saying so.

There is no such option. `umask' (especially in ~gnats/.profile) and
`chmod' are your friends.

TP> setuid? <gasp> .. only when it's the last resort ;)
Since gnatsd shares a lot of code with query-pr, it's comparably
(in)secure. So if you intend to use GNATS databases locally with a read
restricted access, setuid gnats on query-pr doesn't look like an
unreasonable option to me.

I'm aware of the problem, however I don't know how to propagate the
configure options from a subdirectory to the top-level directory
configure. Could anybody enlighten me?
Thanks,
