Introduce NFS and you eliminate security anyway.  It's actually 775
daemon.daemon I believe.

If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.  It's currently a compromise.

  Hummm... I take it that you set /var/rwho nobody:whoever mode 755, which
  now means /var/rwho is open for writting into if /var is NFS exported...
  and all the datafiles will be smashable by other NFS hosts :-(.
