A couple of weeks ago I asked why do many scripts in /etc/rc.d/
do have 755 permission. There followed a brief discussion
of the subject.

Recently I have found in one of McGraw-Hill's HackNotes
a suggestion that /etc/rc.d/ by itself has 700 permissions.

Regards,
Mikhail

Fair point.

Since you're changing the 755 permissions of /etc/rc.d/rc.* you may also
be interested in changing the permissions of /sbin and /usr/sbin, where
many binaries also have 755 permissions. However, I think many of the
caveats in changing permissions that were previously discussed still
apply.
