On two newly-installed Solaris 2.5.1 systems, /etc is group-writeable
by the "sys" group, which includes "bin", "sys" and "adm" user entries.
This makes it relatively easy for anyone who can gain access to one
of those accounts to break root.

Anybody know why it is shipped this way? Is there something that
will break if I just change the permissions to root-write-only?
