# suddenly I saw some of my files and directories at /Programs were not 
set as user:group to gobo:gobo..
# then I was to check all with:

find /Programs -not -user gobo -exec ls -ld "{}" \; >temp.txt

# and I found some stuff:
# my secondary user had permission to Firefox 1.5.0.1 files,
# a strange numeric (big number) user and numeric group had permission 
to my open office 2.0 files,
# fibo:fibo have permission to my KDE-PIM files (tho this one I "guess" 
is ok..)
# my normal user had permission to one of the programs, I tested by 
removing the installed package and the downloaded package file (so I 
would get a fresh new download surely made by gobo root user) and 
issuing again as gobo: InstallPackage -k ...; and I checked the 
installed files and my normal user had permission to them again

# just issue that "find" command to check your system.

# my question is: should Compile, or SymlinkProgram or InstallPackage, 
check and set (or at least warn and ask) everything to gobo:gobo after 
the step "make install" or after unpacking a binary package for 
installation, etc. ?

# btw I did "chown gobo:gobo ... -R" where I thought was ok to do it...
