Permissions of grub/menu.lst file
« on: April 08, 2011, 07:49:17 PM »
Is there any good reason why this file is only readable by root? I was sniffing around and wanted to list out my grub file as an ordinary user (ordinary, but not too shabby  ;) ).

Code: [Select]
-rw------- 1 root root   2804 Apr  9 08:22 menu.lst

Every thing else in the dir is readable by others. I realize the write/exec flags should be set for root only, but still for reading..

Inquiring mind wants to know.
