Hi All,

I have a system-wide sage install for all users.
The source lives in /usr/local/src and all of it is owned
by root.root. I chown it after install so that it does not 
have another user's permissions.  A user had this problem:

Is "sage -t" used for testing one's own code?
Should /usr/local/src/sage-4.1.1/tmp/tmp be world-writeable? 
Is there then any control on the space used?
