[Popcon-developers] Bug#292163: Wrong permissions on /etc/popularity-contest.conf

[Erik Schanze]

Hello Thomas!

Thomas Wana <greuff@debian.org>:
> neptun:~# ls -l /etc/popularity-contest.conf
> -rw-r--r--  1 root root 357 Jan 25 15:04 /etc/popularity-contest.conf
> which makes it world readable. The permissions should be adjusted.
>
I agree with your objections, but /usr/sbin/popularity-contest will be started 
by user nobody in /etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest, so how could he be 
able to read the configuration file with your permissions?

There should be more adjusted then.


Kindly regards,
Erik
