Further to a discussion that ensued on a linuxquestions.org thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/virtualbox-2.1.2-slackb
uild-699309/
I noted that the permissions on rc-scripts installed by Slackbuild packages
are not consistent. Moreover the default permissions are not documented by
the specific slackbuilds README files. A solution might be one of the
following:
1. Specify the default permissions on rc-scripts for all slackbuilds (say
7xx)
2. Specify that README files shall declare the default rc-scripts
permissions.
3. Warn users that there are no rules in this regard and they should check
them out themselves (if they exist).
