Mike, you need to set the access controls so that
everyone can read the files in the directory.  To do
this, first run the command:

fs listacl .

This will print up the list of groups and users who have
some sort of permission to work with the files in the
directory.

To change the rights that a group or a user has, type:

fs setacl . *userid/groupid* *rights*

In this case, you would want to give the group anyuser
the permission to look at and read the stuff in your
directory, so you would say:

fs setacl . anyuser rl

or

fs setacl . anyuser read

If you want to give someone no rights, type:

fs setacl . *userid/groupid* none

That should cover it...
