The problem here is that /var/server/usr was mode 775 and not 755.
Taking a look at another machine (hodge) I can't figure out how it got
that way, and running chmod g-w /var/server/usr and then mkserv update
leaves it mode 755 (ie. fixed). That said it was mode 775 on the 5
multi partition machines Ron and I checked (paddington, hodge,
l-slide, pick-gun and oobleck) though I believe they've all been
manually chmoded at this point.
I'm not sure what the right solution is at this point. I suppose we
could put something ina patch release to chmod that directory though I
fear it may un-chmod itself, since I don;t understand where it got its
current permissions from. Ron, please do let us know if paddington
changes the modes back to 775.
