Of course, that simple.
How it happened to get incorrect permissions I don't know.

Thanks anyway!

Hi Martin. I had a problem like this a while ago, except my problem
was purely related to the fact that *all* users could write to / ;-)
It turned out that the permissions of / were wrong. Try:

$ ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root 432 Nov 27 11:38 /

You will probably find that your permissions of / are wrong, something
like "drwx--x--x  19 root root 432 Nov 27 11:38 /"

The solution is simply to change those permissions as root to drwxr-xr-x

Greetings
Ralph
