IMPORTANT: Fix for bad permissions on 1.1 boot floppies
If you've installed your system from the 1.1 boot floppies generated before
this date, there are permissions problems with the files that would cause
extreme security problems. You can tell if you have the problem if any
of the files mentioned in the following script have public-write permission
on your system.
The following shell script, run as root, will fix the problems.
However, _Never_ run something as root just because someone's told you
to do so - examine it and make sure you know what it is supposed to do,
and why. This script should be easy enough to figure out.
Thanks
