*                      the directory permissions are not       *
*                      preserved. If the umask of the system   *

When jmsEventBroker.pax.Z is unpaxed the directory permissions
are not preserved. IF the umask of the system is 000 then the
permissions will be 777. The script that unpaxes the file should
be changed to preserve the permissions of the directories.
Problem conclusion
When jmsEventBroker.pax.Z is unpaxed the directory permissions
are not preserved. IF the umask of the system is 000 then the
permissions will be 777. The script that unpaxes the file has
