*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Private security bug reported:

Both in liveUSB and after install, it seems /usr is world-writable (mode
040757) which is very insecure. I've grepped around a bit but I haven't
spotted why it's happening but I guess it's not deliberate - is it an
artefact of broth?

Also world-writable are /sbin and /etc - none of these should be world-
writable, right?

** Affects: puredyne-live
     Importance: Critical
         Status: New

** Changed in: puredyne-live
   Importance: Undecided => Critical
