[Zope-dev] zope and UNIX permissions

[Chris McDonough]

Which files?  Know that if you untar as root, the files will be 'owned'
by whoever tarred it up on our side.  Untar it as a normal user.  Reset
the permissions of the ones you find too permissive.  Then let us know
so we can change the distribution.

We tried to install zope using its tar.gz file and it created a lot of
files with non-default users and with very permissive permissions on a
linux box (like 777 permissions for many files).

This is a HUGE security hole. We couldn't install the RPMs files on our
webserver. Is there any decent zope source code distribution?

thanks in advance
