Re: staroffice
Do yourself a favor and (as root) make change your umask to 022.
I had mine set to 077, and SOME (but not all) files were unreadable/unwritable
to anyone but root. Since some files were OK, this led me to believe the
Staroffice install scripts fail to set permissions on SOME of the files. I
filed a bug report with Sun, and the tech support seemed to agree.
