Out of curiosity, I installed "tornado" today, and when I tried to run it, bash told me I didn't have permission. The permissions and ownership post-install appear as:
---x--S--x games games (Oddly, Path Finder shows the permissions as ---s--S--s (101) instead of ---x--S--x. PF's Effective Permissions table shows that I should be able to execute it, as it is set to other-executable.) I checked the install script in the .info file, and it indeed does explicitly chown it to games/games and chmod to 2101. This is different from pretty much everything else in /sw/bin, which are all set to root/admin and 755 (-rwxr-xr-x or lrwxr-xr-x). So my question is: Is there a specific reason this is set up with this ownership and permissions? I'd guess that my inability to run the file is due to it not being other-readable, but that's just a guess--I'm still relatively green on Unix, and there's a lot of subtleties I don't get yet. Would it cause any problems if I chown'ed it to root/admin and chmod'ed it to 755, matching everything else fink has installed? Mark D.
