Rüdiger, The only sense I can make out of the 711 permission is that root wants to have an executable script in /root/bin, which other users should be able to execute. Apart from that, I would prefer 700! Raffy
Hello,
does anybody know a good reason why the permission.paranoid sets /root to mode 711? The harden_suse script suggests setting the mode for /root to 700. (This is IMHO the right mode for /root) The Versions 6.3, 6.4 and 7.0 of SUSE Linux seem to be affected from this bug or feature (bug or feature depends on your answers :-))
