Any idea if or where this function is used?
I can find it called only inside itself.
I found it was used in SMF 1.1 in the PackageInstallTest, PackageInstall and PackageRemove functions, but it seems it has been replaced at some point... remove and cross fingers? :P
Never mind, I can answer myself: it was replaced with create_chmod_control in Janury 2008. (ref: 9009c46e6732c03d0c38bdf6b9abfb4a3aa3621e )
more dead code !
