            Bug ID: 221734
           Summary: net-mgmt/icinga2: api-users.conf has world readability
                    access (oct 644) and contains passwords!
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

When installing port net-mgmt/icinga2 and someone intends to use
satellites/zones, the icinga feature "API" needs to be enabled and setup.

When performing a trivial CLI command sequence "icinga2 api setup", a standard
file is installed in the FreeBSD standard installation path called

/usr/local/etc/icinga2/conf.d/api-users.conf

which has the follwoing access settings:

 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   281 Aug 22 07:43 api-users.conf

So the file, although containing sensitive passwords for the remote API access,
has world readability!

Changing the access rights with "chmod 600" ends up in a Compile error from
icinga2 core, as well as "chmod 640", because icinga2 core is running uid:gid
"icinga:icinga".

I performed "chown icinga:wheel api-users.conf" and "chmod 600 api-users.conf"
to gain maximum protection - not aware of any other implications so far.
