    I'm trying to build search indices for the SuSE documentation in the KDE Help
    Center. When I tell it to build the indices it says it can't write to the
    conf files:

    Creating index for 'suselinux-adminguide.en'
    Unable to open '/var/cache/susehelp//suselinuxadminguideen.conf' for writing.
    Creating index for 'pam'
    Unable to open '/var/cache/susehelp//pam.conf' for writing.
    Creating index for 'howto.en'
    Unable to open '/var/cache/susehelp//howtoen.conf' for writing.
    Creating index for 'qt3'
    htdig failed
    Creating index for 'suselinux-userguide.en'
    Unable to open '/var/cache/susehelp//suselinuxuserguideen.conf' for writing.
    Creating index for 'cups'
    Unable to open '/var/cache/susehelp//cups.conf' for writing.

    Based on this:
    ls -ld /var/cache/susehelp/
    drwxrwxr-x 2 root man 5432 2004-01-26
    13:25 /var/cache/susehelp/

    I put my user in the 'man' group hoping that would solve the problem. I now
    see the individual files are owned by root:root and are mod 644.

    What should I do? Change the ownership or permissions on the file
    in /var/cache/susehelp? Point the help indexer to something I have
    (exclusive) ownershiip of? Index the help as root?

    There are many possible approaches, and trying them all could take some time.
    Is there a 'correct' way to do this?
