Do you know why "ucitrack" has a different permission than the other? Do you know, what the hidden file ".network.uci-FAPKJj" is? It holds a long character string, so I thought it's the ssh key, but it seems it isn't.

It doesn't seem to contain any private data, so probably no one cares to change its permissions.

Looks like a temporary file that can be removed.

Hi @vgaetera

Thank you for the answer. Yes, I didn't use the search function on this topic, sorry
I changed all to "600" and removed the hidden file. Everything is fine so far.

Regards, guenther
