[5]root@voyager:/ # ls -ad . /root drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 512 Aug 25 20:36 ./ drwx------ 8 root wheel 1024 Oct 6 12:12 /root/ I set the permissions on /root as 700, figuring I didn't want anyone in that directory that didn't belong there. Do you think that was a bad idea? Or do you think I'd be smart to chmod it to 770 and chgrp it to "nobody" ? / is fully world readable, though, so I'm not sure why it would complain about that one. > > Cannot find file: /usr/local/man/man1/rsh-keygen.1 [snip] > > Cannot find file: /usr/local/man/man8/rshd.8 > > These are usually symlinks to files that no longer exist.

I went ahead and deleted the symlinks; we'll see for sure if the errors go away on next week's weekly run.
