Hallo debian-sec folks, While I was checking up some configurations, I've noticed that the root's home directory /root is world readable...
$ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k Jan 21 15:33 root This seems to be Debian's default configuration, because also on other Potato boxes I've found that same configuration. Well, as far as I can remember from the Slackware times, root's home dir wasn't world readable by default. Why has Debian choosen to let users access root's home ? Let me say I "chmod 0700 /root", will I encounter any problems through some anacrom jobs or anything else ? I mean, when Debian set "0750 /root" there must be a reason, ...isn't there ? Thanks for any help, Have a nice time and check out Lord of the Rings, it really rocks :) - Ivo -- »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« Ivo Marino [EMAIL PROTECTED] UN*X Developer, running Debian GNU/Linux irc.OpenProjects.net #debian http://eimbox.org »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »« »«
