Description
After a Solaris 9 update one build two install, two files are left mode 666.

This is a result of the SUNWj3rt postinstall script, and the following code

touch $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.system.lock
touch $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile
chmod 666 $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile
chmod 666 $PREFS_LOCATION/.systemPrefs/.system.lock 

The perms should be 644, with the owner being root.  The latter
is probably true.

Also, any file added via a postinstall script in Solaris must be
added to the package data base via the installf command.   See 
other such additions in the same postinstall script.

Hopper should not go out (FCS) with this bug.
