> What *exactly* is the problem of the sticky bit in your case?
*.pk files aren't installed successfully after xdvi call by ordinary
users (I am owner of texmf tree, not root; if I call xdvi, everything
works fine!):
generation works, but renaming on central location fonts/pk/.. isn't
allowed owing to denied write permission (as reported in the log) :(
> Setting any suid bits on scripts is not recommended for security reasons.
I know, but sticky bit asks for correct effective user id ...
Who should be the owner of all the stuff, especially the binaries?
Thanks for any hint
