Ubuntu Permissions

This is what I did (for Ubuntu 10.10).

I suspect it’s also appropriate for other linux distributions, too. (Just remember to substitute an appropriate value for the admin group, if appropriate for your box!)

    cd /usr/local
    
    sudo chgrp -R admin bin games include lib sbin share src
    sudo chmod -R g+rw bin games include lib sbin share src

(I wasn’t sure where to put this info, so I stuck it here.)
