[OS X TeX] Mac OS X 10.2 permissions

[Axel E. Retif]

This might be unrelated to problems some of you --like Mr. Bruno 
Voisin-- are having with OS X 10.2, but might help some others. This 
report comes from MacInTouch (http://www.macintouch.com) --as the one I 
posted yesterday in the thread Overfull, about defective install CDs--:

I haven't had any problems with 10.2 on my Pismo PowerBook --quite the 
contrary--, but I ran it and it only found 4 permissions to fix, not 
"tons".
