SYNOPSIS

       swperms <package-name>

DESCRIPTION

       The  swperms  utility  is used to check for unusual permissions after a
       software package has been installed.  It takes only one argument, which
       is the "base" directory of where the package was installed.

       It  reports any unusual finding (such as setuid programs, ..) and gives
       instructions on how  to  change  ownership  for  the  files  that  were
       installed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       swperms will use the following environment variables if set:


       SWPKG_NAME
              The package name.

       SWPKG_TARGET
              Overrides the swln compiled in default target directory.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example  shows  how to use swperms to check permissions
       after having installed perl version 5.005_03 :

       $ swperms perl-5.005_03
       Looking for bad permissions:


       If there was any output above,
               then you MOST certainly have to fix permissions by hand.
               (it is possible that this package needs to be installed as root.)

       If not, then you should run the following:
               chown -R 0:0 /usr/local/pkgs/perl-5.005_03
