Check file permissions *and* ownership.
Did you install using setup.pl, or manually?

Most files belong to 1000.1000, some to root.root, and the templates
and user directories to wwwrun.nogroup (or whatever account your web
server is running on).

In my installation

        ls -lai admin.pl

gives

lrwxrwxrwx    1 1000     1000            8 2003-05-19 22:07 admin.pl -> 
login.pl 

.

But it may well be, that your problem is not the file permissions or ownership
of admin.pl itself, but of some of the files in bin/mozilla. And here you find
the *real* admin.pl. It's owned by 1000.1000, and has -rw-r--r-- file 
permissions.


Good luck!
