 The utility located at util/check_permissions.sh can be run inside any spack-stack environment directory intended for multiple users (i.e., on an HPC or cloud platform). It will return errors if the environment directory is inaccessible to non-owning users and groups (i.e., if o+rx not set), as well as if any directories or files have permissions that make them inaccessible to other users.

+The util/ldd_check.py utility should be run for new installations to ensure that no shared library or executable that uses shared libraries is missing a shared library dependency. If the script returns a warning for a given file, this may indicate that Spack's RPATH substitution has not been properly applied. In some instances, missing library dependencies may not indicate a problem, such as a library that is intended to be found through $LD_LIBRARY_PATH after, say, a compiler or MPI environment module is loaded. Though these paths should probably also be RPATH-ified, such instances of harmless missing dependencies may be ignored with ldd_check.py's ``--ignore`` option by specifying a Python regular expression to be excluded from consideration (see example below), or can be permanently whitelisted by modifying the ``whitelist`` variable at the top of the ldd_check.py script itself (in which case please submit a PR). The script searches the 'install/' subdirectory of a given path and runs ``ldd`` on all shared objects. The base path to be search can be specified as a lone positional argument, and by default is the current directory. In practice, this should be ``$SPACK_ENV`` for the environment in question.
