Description Zack Cerza 2004-09-25 17:40:20 UTC 
So I'm looking for firefox's changelog. Not in /usr/share/doc/firefox,
so I rpm -ql it. /usr/lib64/firefox is apparently where 90% of
firefox's files go, so I look there. An ls --color=auto shows the .so
files being the same color as the README.txt - the color of executables.

I found the changelog now, via 'man rpm' - but this just struck me as
odd. An attachment will show you what I mean.

I don't have access to an i386 box right now so I don't know if
they're affected.

rpm -q --qf "[%{FILEMODES:perms} %{FILENAMES}\n]" firefox

I don't know which of these two issues are (most) important:

Many files are +x that should not be.
Many files (such as the .txt, .html and likely the .js files) should not even
be in /usr/lib*.
