Phil,

>700, is this intentional ?

I just downloaded, built, and installed netcdf-3.5.0 on a Sun Solaris 5.8
SPARC system:

% uname -a
SunOS buddy.unidata.ucar.edu 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

and the mode of the netCDF applications ncdump and ncgen are 775, not 700:

netcdf-3.5.0/bin% ls -alt
total 964
drwxrwxr-x   2 mcidas   ustaff       512 Oct 24 11:14 ./
-rwxrwxr-x   1 mcidas   ustaff    204940 Oct 24 11:14 ncdump*
-rwxrwxr-x   1 mcidas   ustaff    257164 Oct 24 11:14 ncgen*
drwxrwxr-x   7 mcidas   ustaff       512 Oct 24 11:14 ../

I suspect that your umask is set to set the mode 700.
