| Here I thought things were getting better, but no.  I've found this on two
| systems now:
| 
| drwxrw-rw- 0766  filepro  (200) :     root    (0) /appl/fp_v5.6.b6D4/spell
| -rwxrw-rw- 0766  filepro  (200) :     root    (0) /appl/fp_v5.6.b6D4/spell/dict.hsh
| 
| What's more, I just looked to see if they fixed a LONG outstanding bug of
| which I've groused more than a few times, but nope...no fix:
| 
| -rw-rw-rw-    1 root     filepro      1739 Mar 10 16:16 /appl/fp_v5.6/lib/config
| 
| One hopes people take the appropriate steps, both at fP-Tech, and at sites
| deploying the software.

You didn't install this yourself, I gather, so why/how do you come to
blame the fP installation scripts?

I installed my own fp_v5.6.02, and I can assure you that I did not
change the permissions of those entries here, where they are:

   drwxr-xr-x 2 appl 493      96 Jan 20 16:55 /appl/fp_v5.6.02D4/spell
   -rw-r--r-- 1 appl bin  846180 Mar 10 15:48 /appl/fp_v5.6.02D4/spell/dict.hsh
   -rw-r--r-- 1 appl sys    1294 Jun 21 14:24 /appl/fp_v5.6.02D4/lib/config

Also, isn't that 'b6' an indication of a beta release?
