Hello, Today I found out some pidfiles of 'system daemons', have a 'weird' chmod. [quis at istud ~]$ ls -l /var/run/cron.pid -rw------- 1 root wheel 4 Mar 1 19:25 /var/run/cron.pid Can somebody tell me why it is 0600 ? I don't think it will harm if it is 0644 ? I think this is only useful if the security.bsd.see_other_uids sysctl is set to 0. -- Jille
