5.3 is stable, as I understand it.

I've run setperms several times with 5.0.13 & .14 to no avail.

The permissions are as follows:

/usr/appl			user filepro, group filepro, mode 755
/usr/appl/filepro		user filepro, group filepro, mode 755
ddefine			user filepro, group filepro, mode 4755
makedir			user root, group wheel, mode 4755

These permissions are straight from the install.  I haven't messed with
any of them on this system.

I also had this problem on a FreeBSD 4.X (.8 I think) system.
