[plug] Possible (???) security hole in Debian 2.0

[David Campbell]

I don't know if this is a problem that has been reported or not but....

I just found that all the scripts in /etc/init.d/ had rwxr-xr-x permisions. This 
means that anyone logged in could start/stop daemons on the machine. I 
personally do not find this a good idea.

Could other people running Debian 2.0 please check their /etc/init.d/ 
directory and let me know if it is a problem with only my machine or it affects 
others.

Appologies if this has been noted before but I don't remember seeing 
anything on this mailing list before.
