Hi.

I find the new forums a bit difficult to learn (to put it mildly :) so I
will restrict myself to this list for a bit.

There is an issue with the solaris 1.5 installation. The default
installation directory is /opt. After installation I was rather dismayed
to find that everything in /opt was owned by the coldfusion user, and
/opt, and all directories underneath it, had become world-writable. I hope
I don't need to tell you that this introduces a *major* security hole on
multiuser machines.

Of course the proper thing to do here is not to install in /opt, but
rather in a subfolder of /opt, or some other safe place, and then
immediately fix permissions in there afterwards.

I would appreciate it if the allaire installation scripts don't mess up
system directories next time.
