I installed the latest SLS last night, and started looking thru it.
Yep, the permissions are all screwed up.
Try compiling something as non-root. The perms in /usr/include/linux
are all 600, instead of allowing world read access (644?).
I'm going to try to go thru the entire base system and change all of
the permissions the way they should be. Definately needs a perms.fix
like pmacdonald suggested.
