Yes.. I saw some posts on cvs-all... What are supposed to be the perms? I
made them 750 here... root:wheel, of course.
It is weird that it was this way. I heard that there was no mtree entry
for the dir... could it be possible that it followed the umask, then? (I
wouldn't think that it would have been 777 for the _root_ though!)
Thanks!
