That last entry looks strange. It says the texmf.cnf is only readable
by the root user. On my install that file has permission string
"-rw-r--r--", which means readable by everyone.
Here's a command that should list all the files in your TeX install
that are not readable by everyone:
find /usr/local/teTeX -not -perm +044
On my install it does not return any results. That is, all files in my
TeX install are readable by everyone. What are the results on your
machine?
