Yeah, I did it as root. But what is funny,
the result of "tar -jxf linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2" differ
if run as root or not. (I set umask 022 for both cases.)
What I worry is that something bad is happening
to the directory which is used for zipping.
I tried "tar -jtvf" and found that
linux-2.6.14.tar.bz2 has zipped files that are
world writable.
[demo@tomoyo ~]$ tar -jtvf /var/ftp/pub/linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2

I hope the person who zipped this file gave special commandline options.
