Hi Ramon,

This was also discussed over lcg-rollout list earlier - yes, indeed, you have
to change software directory permissions, so that the group has right
permission on them. The same applies /opt/edg/var/info/ files for software
tags. I hope this will be resolved by subsequent YAIM releases...

Best regards, Antun
