You might try the threaded archives at Bruce Toback's site (optc.com).

Access Jazz as http://jazz.external.hp.com:81 temporarily.

Or, you can use my quick fix:

I've found in most instances, that permissions for the creator and
group are correct, but not so for "other". If that's the case, then
the following quick script works:

chmod -R o+r *
find . -perm -u+x -exec chmod o+x {} \;
                                 ^  ^
     (there's a blank before and after the braces)

The first line sez, add read permission for "other" to all files.
The second line finds all files that have execute permission set
for the owner and adds execute permission to "other".
