 * Why is wfcache allways set with execution flag?
 * `/~~~~_wfcache.html' changed from 0655 (rw-r-xr-x) to 0644 (rw-r--r--)`
 * This is a security hole.

 * Hi,
 * This is not a security hole. I understand that you’d rather have your cache file
   permissions set to exclude the execution bit on ‘group’ and ‘other’. So we’ve
   made that change to Falcon and have tested it without any adverse effects.
 * This will be included in the next release.
 * Regards,
 * Mark.

 * Hello,
 * thanks for the quick reply!
 * I’ve a cron script, that check all web server file flags (all 10 Min.) and reset
   this flags and I get a reported mail, if any changed.
    So, with wfcache, I’ve
   get every day mails allways the execution flag was set on wfcache. 😉
