rpm and flie permission

[Martin Duclos]

Hi all,
I made an rpm with a tar archive which holds the contents of my hard drive. 
Then I create the rpm with the  tar, the file permissions are kept after the 
whole tar archive has been extracted to the BUILD directory. Then rpm takes 
the files in that directory and creates a cpio archive. When I extract that 
cpio from the rpm, I noticed some files have different permissions than what 
they had in the original archive. Namely, files in the /etc/ssh/. Can anyone 
explain why?
Thanx
Martin Duclos
