 I was just able to look back as far as FreeBSD 3.2 - as far back as 
 I have anything handy running and they all have "/" set to 755.
 
 I don't understand why it should be 0700. 
 
 If you did that, no person could do an ls or get to directories under
 root.   The 755 setting does not allow group or world to write to root,
 just get to the necessary things in it.
