Hi lwinkenb,<br />
<br />
I think you should be able to control it using your umask setting <br />
<br />
umask [-p] [-S] [mode] <br />
The user file-creation mask is set to mode. If mode begins with a digit, it is interpreted as an octal number; otherwise it is interpreted as a symbolic mode mask similar to that accepted by chmod(1). If mode is omitted, the current value of the mask is printed. The -S option causes the mask to be printed in symbolic form; the default output is an octal number. If the -p option is supplied, and mode is omitted, the output is in a form that may be reused as input. The return status is 0 if the mode was successfully changed or if no mode argument was supplied, and false otherwise. <br />

umask 077 should help<br />

How can I set the permissions of the files that get installed with<br />
make install ?<br />
<br />
basically, there are two files that get installed that I want to chmod to 700 instead of the default 755. &nbsp;Is there a change I can make to the Makefile.am file which does this?
