Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I'm currently running FreeBSD 2.1.5R (the CDROM) and decided to upgrade the XFree to 3.2 because I upgraded to a Virge based video card. I downloaded the necessary .tgz parts from ftp.freebsd.org. Here's the problem, when I untar them with find . -name "*.tgz" -exec tar -xvzpf {} \; I get the directories that look like bin drwxrwxrwx .... If I leave the p option out of the tar I get bin drwx------ .... How do I get the X11 stuff unarchived with decent attributes so that non root accounts can run X but not trash the contents?!? Thanks Mark
