Description Derek Tattersall 2001-04-16 23:52:24 UTC 
In the /usr/lib/cbb/ and /usr/lib/cbb/reports directories, the perl scripts
and tcl scripts do not have other execute permissions, and as the owner is
root, an oridinary user can't get a listing of his transactions.  This may
also be a problem in other directories under /usr/lib/cbb
Comment 1 Tim Powers 2001-04-18 15:30:57 UTC 
I just created a new account, and added a transaction and can view the
transaction fine as a regular user. Where exactly are you seeing problems?

Tim
Comment 2 Derek Tattersall 2001-04-19 09:58:17 UTC 
Yeah, no problem with viewing, adding transactions etc.  The problem was
printing.  The perl scripts in the report sub directory of /usr/lib/cbb had no
other execute permissions and could not be executed as a regular user.  Once I
changed them, she could print a report.  Sorry I didn't make it clear in the
beginning.
Comment 3 Tim Powers 2001-04-23 13:41:36 UTC 
I have uploaded cbb-0.8.1-8.noarch.rpm to http://people.redhat.com/timp/RPMS,
could you try that package to make sure it works for you?

Tim

BTW, thanks for the report!
Comment 4 Derek Tattersall 2001-04-23 23:18:40 UTC 
cbb-0.8.1-8.noarch.rpm  fixed all the problems my wife had.  Prints a report
first time out of the box.  Thanks, Tim.
Comment 5 Tim Powers 2001-04-30 20:45:59 UTC 
OK. Errata is out now. I'm resolving this.

Thanks Derik!
