---+ [[Hp3000PosixFilePermissions][Correcting file permissions so various POSIX programs will work on the HP3000]]

As shipped, there are many file permission problems with files in the HFS directory (including many of the terminal configuration -terminfo- files required by various interactive applications.. like Lynx for one example. Also 'vi'. You might get error messages such as: 

Unknown terminal "hp2392a". 

To correct these; 

<pre>
  :hello manager.sys
  :xeq sh.hpbin.sys -L
  cd /usr/lib/terminfo/h
  chmod 555 *
</pre>

  --[[GilesSchipper]]

Or perhaps more precisely; 

As !MANAGER.SYS enter the shell (have !HPPXUDC.PUB.SYS set as the local UDC file!) 

cd /usr/lib/terminfo 

chmod +r * 

cd h 

chmod +r *
