I just ran tiger on a 4.4R box today, and it mentioned that most the
files in /etc have perms that shouldn't be there...likewise, auscert's
unix security checklist recommended removing world read perms from quite
a few files. Have the permissions been overlooked, or is there some
design issue that I've missed out on? Common sense dictates that the
files in /etc/ should only be root accessible, right?
