I recall there being some tools out there to backup/restore UNIX 
permissions.  If someone could backup the permissions on a default 
Linux install and share the tool/data on the list we could apply it 
to 1.0.1 systems.  The only tool I came up with was 'licen' (check 
sourceforge.net).  I thought there was a perl script someone 
published once to do this too but didn't find it.
