Hello there, This is creating directories with permissions drw-rw-rw-.
A linux user reports that when using "tar xvfz archivename" the top-level directory is created but all other contents are rejected with messages like: tar: <filename>: Cannot open: Permission denied or tar: <subdirectoryname>: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied Suggestions are that the permissions should be drwxrwxrwx. How do I achieve this? Do I need a better tar clone on my Windows box? N.B. the user in question found he could extract from a zip archive OK, so the answer isn't needed in a screaming hurry but if there's a quick fix I can apply before my next release, that would be great. Windows XP SP2; Python 2.4.2 dos-prompt>tar --version bsdtar 1.02.019, libarchive 1.02.017 Copyright (C) 2003-2005 Tim Kientzle Thanks in advance for any clues.
