Subj: 	New permissions in build pools

I have created a 'staff' group on my workstation and have added
myself and root to this group.  However, when I su to root and
do a 'make install' I get the following:

kcs@letterman> make install
installbsd -c -m 4711 -g bin  dop /usr/sbin/dop
installbsd -c -m 4711 -g bin  getpasswd /usr/share/sysman/bin/getpasswd
Make: Don't know how to make badpasswd.  Stop.
kcs@letterman> ls badpasswd
badpasswd@
kcs@letterman> more badpasswd
badpasswd: Permission denied
kcs@letterman> ll badpasswd
lrwxr-xr-x   1 kcs      users         49 Oct 25 10:23 badpasswd@ -> /users/kcs/sb/dop/link/src/sysman/dop/./badpasswd


Does this mean that root on my machine is no longer able
to access the ode source pools?

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,

	Check with Rich to make sure that the exports of
	the pools have the exports option of '-root=0 -ro'
	otherwise root will not be able to read beyond
	the ./src directory.
