I disagree. I mentioned those files in particular because there IS NO way that the user can deduce all their content, short of monitoring the system 24-7 (and even then only for certain files). > Users need to be able to see the contents in order > to debug problems without bothering the sysadmin Not those files. There's absolutely nothing in there for local users to see, or debug. > and the sysadmin should not have to be root to be reminded of the contents > of the files. The sysadmin is most likely in the wheel group, therefore setting the mod to 660 where appropriate would yield the needed result.
