I found that the permissions are set incorrectly for /etc/security/passwd on
some of our AIX boxes.  This was discovered by the sysadmin then backed up by
IBM.  My fault.  I should have addressed IBM first before posting to bugtraq. I
apologize.

snap is a shell script which uses cp -p to gather system information. Data from
/etc/security is gathered between lines 721 - 727.
