+At the end of restores in
+.B \-i
+or
+.B \-x
+modes (unless
+.B \-o
+option is in use),
+.B restore
+will ask the operator whether to set the permissions on the current
+directory. If the operator confirms this action, the permissions 
+on the directory from where 
+.B restore
+was launched will be replaced by the permissions on the dumped root
+inode. Although this behaviour is not really a bug, it has proven itself
+to be confusing for many users, so it is recommended to answer 'no', 
+unless you're performing a full restore and you do want to restore the
+permissions on '/'.
