What were you trying to do?
	look at file permissions on various files on my machine


What went wrong?
	I found some I didn't like.


What should have happened?
	I should like all of the permissions.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	Specifically, I dont like / being mode 777. When this has
happened with previous releases, it is because the dest of the /srvd
link in afs was also mode 777.  That isn't the case here, but the
destination of /os is, which may or may not be related.

the-other-woman:~: ls -l /srvd /os
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          35 Jun 12 21:58 /os -> /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4x_55/os
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          41 Jun 12 21:58 /srvd -> /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4x_55/srvd-8.1
the-other-woman:~: ls -Lld /srvd /os /
drwxrwxrwx  24 root     root        1024 Jun 12 21:58 /
drwxrwxrwx  16 root     root        2048 May  6 15:18 /os
drwxr-xr-x   8 root     root        2048 Jun  9 16:53 /srvd
