Hi, I was just cleaning up after rebuilding a machine, and I decided to take a look at the log file and /etc permissions.
I was quite alarmed. There seem to be many files with world readable permissions, which _shouldnt_. ie: /var/log/xfer.log /var/log/samba/* /var/log/mailman/* and in /etc: /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/netatalk/* /etc/smb/smb.conf /etc/apache-perl/cron.conf What is the policy for log files? I understand that it doesnt do _that_ much harm allowing others to read, but it does disclose more than I want to reveal. And now every time I install a package, I'm paranoid about the permissions, so I have to go check them.
