NAME
       is_able.chk - Check for write/read-ability of files listed
       a configuration file.

SYNOPSIS
       is_able.chk

DESCRIPTION
       is_able.chk  checks  all  files   listed   in   the   file
       is_able.lst  to see if files are either write/read-able by
       group or by all, or if they are setuid/setgid, or a combi-
       nation of these.

       is_able.lst  is merely a list of files (or regular expres-
       sions representing a file or files), one  per  line,  that
       are  checked  by is_able.  Any line starting with a "#" is
       ignored, and any file checked for writability also  checks
       the  parent  directories (if a complete path is given) for
       writeability.

EXAMPLE
       #   Lines are of the format:
       #    /path/to/file
       /etc/*
       /.profile

FILES
       is_able.lst

Bugs
       When using wildcards and checking a directory with  a  lot
       of files, overflow of the shell variables can occur, caus-
       ing incorrect arguments to be passed to the  driving  pro-
       gram.
