Well, for the purge.conf here it's still rw-rw-r-- (proxy.proxy) after editing with the control interface. What was the default, then ? In this particular case, i would be lucky if only the purge.conf would be group writable, to let a mechanism like 'wwwofflebook' work. Of course i can set the script into /etc/sudoers, but who knows the next security glitch then.
