Re: Slackware-7.1 Insecurity in default permission ?!?

here's what's listed in the MANIFEST:

drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2000-04-04 00:20 usr/info/

-rw-r--r-- root/root      3533 1994-05-16 15:41 usr/info/dir

-rw-r--r-- root/root        18 1994-05-06 12:09 etc/shells

Mind you these are from the slackware area on sunsite, and may differ for
-current, but I think these are accurate


Thanks,

Hi, i just installed a Slackware-7.1 and hardening it after a
find / -perm -2 -type -f
I found this two bad thing:

123655    1 -rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root          744 Sep 21 22:52
/usr/info/dir
153123    1 -rw-rw-rw-   1 root     root           49 Sep 21 22:51
/etc/shells


Does someone may verify it on other slackware-7.1 distribution?
