Quoting Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
xdvizilla (in tetex-src-2.0.2/texk/xdvik/) appears to be missing the x
permission.
On my linux system the x-permission was set (by install -- the default is 755 which is why you need the -m 644 option to install documentation) when the file was installed. Why does the permission in the source tree matter? Are you using a funny version of install?
Speaking of permissions, Mandrake's msec security tool noticed a few world writable files/directories in the main texmf tree:
texmf/fonts/pk texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/ec texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/dstroke texmf/ls-R texmf/web2c/mf.base texmf/web2c/mf.log
which version? And are you sure is main texmf tree and not in /var/lib/texmf? As in /var/lib/texmf to allow users to generate on the fly the PK fonts. On main texmf tree, i.e. /usr/share/texmf there shouldn't be such files, unless
maybe you are running tex as root.
Bye. Giuseppe.
