[OS X TeX] Permissions in .texlive2007

[S P Suresh]

Dear Axel,

I figured out what could have caused the problem. I was checking OnyX  
out, and without realising the implications for the TeX installation,  
I ran repair permissions from it (even though there was absolutely no  
need to!). I checked the file and its permissions were 755. After  
seeing your mail, I have changed the permissions to match yours. But  
I am not sure about the subdirectories. Can you tell me what their  
permissions should be?

I now remember that there was some discussion about 'Repair  
permissions' and its effects on the TeX installation at some point of  
this. But I wasn't remembering any of this until now. Can someone  
tell me what the permissions ought to be for .texlive2007 and its  
subdirectories?

Thanks very much.

Cheers,
Suresh
