Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-09-24 01:49:14 MSD 
I noticed that several programs in Lite 4.0.3 store their history world-readable.

I assume that the conventional policy towards history files is not to make them world-readable. (Example: ~/.bash_history is not
world-readable.)

Expected: any program stores by default its history not world-readable. 

This report tracks individual bug reports with this concern for different programs: it depends on them.

Another good example: ~/.mc/history is not world-readable:

$ l .mc

В 4.0/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
