I have HOMETEXTMF=~/etc/texmf and keep my own texmf tree there with
a couple of custom classes and styles. For this to work, I have to run
`mktextlsr` whenever a new document is added. it creates the file
$HOMETEXTMF/ls-R, sort of the index.

I run `mktextlsr` very infrequently. In fact, I don't recall running
it the last time.

What disturbs me is that

fishbowl:~> ls -l ~/etc/texmf/ls-R
-rw-------    1 root     root         1147 2003-02-09 23:25 ls-R

it is owned by root:root. What the heck? What's root doing in my
homedirectory? root should have no idea about ~/etc/texmf, and
I surely can't create files owned by root. What the heck is going on?
Anyone?
