For file permission problems, you should check out the program (bash
script actually) that I just uploaded to sunsite
(/pub/Linux/Incoming/fixperms.tar.z). Fixperms will read a file that
contains a list of files and their respective permissions/owner/group. It
will then set the listed files with their proper permissions. This would
have come in handy if a package like mail or lpd came with a permissions
list. I know it took me a while to mess with the suid and sgid permissions
for lpr and mail.
