I fixed it, although I have no idea > how it got to be "rwxrwxrwx" for you.... Yes.. I saw some posts on cvs-all... What are supposed to be the perms? I made them 750 here... root:wheel, of course.

(I wouldn't think that it would have been 777 for the _root_ though!) Thanks! Spidey Jesus died for his own sins. Not mine.
