<div><font size="4">There are some recent reports about permissions being changed after updates.
<br>
<br>
I should like to see some concrete evidence of the sort of these permission changes, in order to determine where the problem is. But I will make one observation: users *<u>must</u>* be the sysop user when doing an update. Doing an update
<u>as root</u> may (or more likely) <u>not</u> give you the (velvety) smooth experience that (I'm sure [honest :-]) that you are used to.
<br>
<br>
If you do experience "permission problems" please send me examples + how you went about doing the failing update.
