Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Why is /sbin/init installed with mode 500? What harm could possibly come from making it 555 like almost everything else in /sbin? Or at least 544? Likewise, /sbin/shutdown is not world readable. Is there any reason for this? -- Ben Rosengart UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.
