Neither. Ebuilds do that.

That should be explained in the portage docs.

I must admit I never really cared about that stuff.

Best possible answer :-)

It's right there is man 5 make.conf:

One enables protection for the given files/docs.
The other disables it.

But I thought paludis had its own suite of pkg handling tools. eg It has its own use.conf. and bashrc and ... At present CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT _MASK are missing from make.conf. and only appear as 'all_CONFIG_PROTECT' and 'all_CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK',two tiny files under /var/db/pkg/.cache. Do I tweak the variables there or in make.conf or both?

Indeed it was, given that I didn't know it myself?
