Permissions of /root

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 :-)) Regards, Rüdiger Plüm -- Rüdiger Plüm Mannesmann TeleCommerce Department: Web Engineering, MTC-SWW Phone: +49 2102 97 21 58 Fax: +49 2102 97 12 08 Email: ruediger.pluem@it-mannesmann.de Address: Rehhecke 50, D-40885 Ratingen
