The problem is that Lotus Notes sets insecure default permissions
(grants "Everyone" group "Full Control") on the "notes" directory and
all child objects. This can be exploited to remove, manipulate, and
replace any of the application's files.

Well... Yeah.  *duh*.  If you want to *collaborate* on stuff, the software
has to be set up so that the collaborating group can still make progress,
even if the actual file owner is a PHB with the IQ of a dill pickle. :)
