No, I never really did anything out of the ordinary about this. Just
what the installation and setup scripts asked me to -- and since
everything is working: ssh, rsync, etc, I guess the installation went okay.
As you mention, there are so many sites that tell you to do chmod
system:system that it made wonder what was the real deal behind this.
