you can check out http://vectors.cx/mozilla-dir.txt to see what the permissions SHOULD be, but it would be faster to just reinstall the mozilla port at this point. my guess is that you had some funky umask in effect while you were installing. but uhm don't recursively make everything in there executable. that's a pretty ugly kludge ::) -Adam >> (07.11.2002 @ 1211 PST): sagacious said, in 2.7K: << > Man, you rock.
